Kwisi people
Ethnic group in Angola From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remove ads
The Kwisi are a seashore-fishing and hunter-gatherer people of southwest Angola that physically seem to be a remnant of an indigenous population—along with the Kwadi, the Cimba, and the Damara—that are unlike either the San (Bushmen) or the Bantu.
Language
Culturally they have been strongly influenced by the Kuvale, and speak the Kuvale dialect of Herero.[3][4] There may, however, have been a few elderly speakers of an unattested Kwisi language (a.k.a. Kwisi, Mbundyu, Kwandu) in the 1960s.[5]
