  • Eventually, Yao, Tumbuka, Nyanja and Tonga became associated with specific missions, and because the missions served distinct regions, these languages gradually became common languages for their respective regions. Tumbuka language was associated with northern Malawi and LM, Chewa/Nyanja was associated with the central region and the DRCM and Chewa/Nyanja and Yao became associated with the southern region and the BM. Despite this, usage of Chewa/Nyanja Bible was common across all regions.
