Chichewa (Chicheŵa in Malawian English, also known as Nyanja) is one of the two official national languages of the Republic of Malawi, the other being English.

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. The countries of Malawi, Zambia, and Mozambique constitute the central location of Chichewa.

Both the Holy Bible and the Holy Quran have been translated into the Chichewa language.
