Rangi is a Bantu language spoken by about 410,000 people in the south of the Kondoa District in the north of the Dodoma Region in Central Tanzania. In particular, Rangi is spoken in the town of Kondoa and in nearby villages such as Pahi, Mondo, Goima, Kolo and Bereko.
Rangi is also known as Langi, Kilangi or Kilaangi. Rangi speakers call their language Kɨlaangi and themselves Valaangi. There are two main varieties of Rangi: Rangi Highlands and Rangi Lowlands, which are mutually intelligible.
There are several spelling systems for Rangi using the Latin alphabet. One was developed by primary school teachers in the Kondoa District in the 1960s. They published a newspaper and other material. Another way to write Rangi was developed by members of SIL International working under the Anglican Diocese of Kondoa and Rangi speakers in 1999, and revised in 2002. There is a translation of the New Testament of the Bible in Rangi.
