Nyemba is also known as Gangela, Ganguela, Ganguella, Ngangela or Nhemba. It is closely related to Luchazi, Nkangala, Mbwela and Ngonzela. Some sources classify these as dialects of one language known as Ngangela.
Nyemba is written with the Latin alphabet, and parts of the Bible have been translated into it.
