Sonjo language, the language of a Bantu enclave in Maasai territory
The Sonjo people number about 30,000 (2002 SIL); many of them are bilingual in Swahili, the local language of education.
•
They are known for their use of irrigation systems in agriculture, a rare trait which causes some historians to link them to the hitherto unexplained ruined irrigation systems of Engaruka, 60 miles to the southeast.
•
The Sonjo have lived for centuries as an isolated enclave in Maasai territory.
