Gogo is a Bantu language spoken by the Gogo people of Dodoma Region in Tanzania. The language is spoken throughout Dodoma
Region and into the neighbouring district of Manyoni. The language is considered to have three dialects: Nyambwa (Cinyambwa
or West Gogo) spoken to the west of Dodoma and in Manyoni, Nyaugogo (Cinyaugogo or Central Gogo) spoken in the environs of
Dodoma, and Tumba (Citumba or East Gogo) spoken to the east. The Gogo group is grouped with Kagulu, which has a 56% lexical
similarity with Gogo proper, which leads some to classify Kagulu as a Gogo dialect. Gogo has about 50% lexical similarity
with Hehe and Sangu (both Bena–Kinga languages, 48% with Kimbu and 45% with Nilamba. These last two are both in Zone F. Gogo
