	Chichewa language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chichewa ( ChicheÅµa in Malawian English) is the official national language of the Republic of Malawi.
		Chichewa, also known as Chinyanja, is a language of the Bantu language family widely spoken in south-central Africa.
		It is also spoken in Mozambique, especially in the provinces of Tete and Niassa, in Zambia (especially in the Eastern Province), as well as in Zimbabwe where, according to some estimates, it ranks as the third most widely used local language, after Shona and Ndebele.

	World congress on language policies
		Chichewa and English be the official languages of the state of Malawi and all other languages should continue to be used in everyday private life in their respective areas.
		It was clear in the field interviews that the acceptance of Chichewa as a national language and a symbol of nation-statehood seemed to be predicated on its being disassociated from a particular ethnic group, the Chewa.
		Their basic argument is that a national language should not be identified with one specific ethnic group, or otherwise it will be politically divisive and inevitably erode the status of minority languages and pose a major threat to the identity of the speakers of those languages.

		Chichewa is a language of the Bantu language family, spoken in parts of East, Central, and Southern Africa.
		Chichewa as a dialect had to be one of such primitive languages of the backward and the uncivilized.
		The introduction of studies of Chichewa at university level contributed to the promotion of literary and linguistic studies of the language, the resurgence of literary activity in the language, the training of teachers of the language, and enhanced the profile of the language within African as well as general linguistic scholarship.

		In Chichewa there is clear evidence from word order and from phrase-level tone rules that, as predicted, the inverted subject is in structural object position, and the locative subject is in subject position.
		Chichewa provides a rich source of further evidence that the inverted locative is a subject, for locative subjects exist independently of locative inversion.
		The SIE's language, designed by Stucky and Gawron, is precisely defined by a grammar, but is otherwise unlike formal languages in being based on an explicit model of conversational structure, and in using explicit syntactic devices to mark topic, subject, focus, mood, and so forth.

		Passive and stative in Chichewa: Evidence for modular distinctions in grammar
		This article examines stative and passive constructions in Chichewa, finding that the syntax of the two constructions is best accommodated in a model that allows argument structure changing operations, such as stative, to be distinguished from operations, such as passive, that affect the mapping from argument structure to grammatical functions.
		The Chichewa facts recall observations made concerning the differences between English adjectival and verbal passives, first formalized in Wasow 1997, but provide more straightforward evidence for a distinction, due to the absence of surface homophony.
