Gorowa people


The Gorowa are a Cushitic ethnic group inhabiting the Manyara and Dodoma regions in Tanzania. They speak the Gorowa language as a mother tongue, which belongs to the South Cushitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic family. Estimating the Gorwaa population is difficult, as ethnic affiliation or language is not recorded in the national census. The number of Gorwaa speakers is estimated to be 132,748, though it is important to recognize that some Gorwaa people may not speak the language, so this number will not correspond exactly to the population.
