Tom 1

Hi Everyone

Different tribes of Pygmies speak different languages. Some speak Zulu while others speak Shaangan. Pygmies trade with neighbouring farmers to acquire cultivated foods and other material items. It is estimated that there are between 250,000 and 600,000 Pygmies living in the Congo rainforest.
In the Republic of Congo, where Pygmies make up 5 to 10% of the population, many Pygmies live as slaves to Bantu masters.

Cheers
Tom
