Datooga people
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Datooga, known as the Mang'ati in Swahili, are a pastoralist Nilotic people of Manyara Region, Tanzania. In 2000 the Datoga population was estimated to number 87,978.[1] There are seven Datooga tribes:
- Bajuta
- Gisamjanga (Kisamajeng, Gisamjang)
- Barabayiiga (Barabaig, Barabayga, Barabaik, Barbaig)
- Tsimajeega (Isimijeega)
- Rootigaanga (Rotigenga, Rotigeenga)
- Buraadiiga (Buradiga, Bureadiga)
- Bianjiida (Biyanjiida, Utatu)
The dialects of the Datooga language are often divergent enough to make comprehension difficult, though Barabayiiga and Gisamjanga are very close.
