Tanlanish

Tanlanish, also known as the "Tanzanian dialect," is not a recognized linguistic term for a specific language or dialect within Tanzania. Tanzania is a linguistically diverse country with over 120 indigenous languages. The official languages are Swahili and English. Swahili, a Bantu language, serves as the national language and is widely spoken as a lingua franca, facilitating communication across different ethnic groups. English is used in government, higher education, and business.

Beyond Swahili and English, numerous ethnic languages are spoken in Tanzania. These include Sukuma, Nyamwezi, Chaga, Haya, and many others, each with its own dialects and regional variations. When people refer to "tanlanish," they might be informally or mistakenly using a term that does not correspond to an established linguistic classification. It is possible that it could be a personal or local neologism, or perhaps a misunderstanding of existing language names. Without further context or clarification, "tanlanish" cannot be definitively identified as a specific language or dialect.
