Gonna be pernickety but could the Wikia for this edition please show the Zambian song as being sung in English and Nyanja. It is what the artist, as well as Zambia as a country, calls this language. Thank you. ![](https://i.imgur.com/oQj7Bzg.png) Also, South Sudan doesn't seem to be sung in Arabic. It could be Nuer or Kakwa, two other languages that she speaks.

That’s why I don’t usually add languages I’m not sure about, that’s mostly Chante™’s job for OAfSC at least

Tommy I added it as Chewa for consistency with other songs in the same language. I don’t run the wiki so I don’t know how much Mihai and Chante wish for consistency with this sort of thing so yeah
Edit: according to the list of languages it lists Nyanja and Chewa as separate. Upon further research it seems that they are slightly different languages so it will be updated as such. As for South Sudan, I did run it by Chante who normally updates the languages. It is the South Sudanese dialect of Arabic, but it is not differentiated on the wiki (maybe this is something to consider for the future) I’m really gonna trust their judgement on this just because they’ve been doing adding the languages for so long and their knowledge of this is far better than mine and Mihai’s

It could be Nuer or Kakwa, two other languages that she speaks. nyanja and chewa are in a serbian and croatian type of situation in that they are quite similar but they are separate languages as for the language of south sudan’s song, i spent so long trying to figure it out, and someone online who speaks juba’s dialect of arabic said that’s the language it’s in. juba arabic itself is a pidgin, so there’s a lot of overlap with other languages nearby. i’d rather trust someone who speaks the language and their opinion on it than the linguistic clues that i was able to look through hopefully this makes sense
