(Sukwa) p. 2 (Bantu language called Sukwa, spoken in Chitipa district of northern Malawi and classified by Guthrie (1967) as belonging in Zone M. Maho classifies it as M20. As is common practice in other literature, the author decided to simply call the language Sukwa and remove the noun prefix Ci-.)

The Verb in Chisukwa, Ph.D. dissertation, Indiana U., 2002:p. viii (Chisukwa, an endangered Bantu language spoken in northern Malawi) p. 1 (spoken in a few small Sukwa villages in northern Malawi and in a small Sukwa community in Mzuzu, a city in northern Malawi) p. 2 (fewer than 3000 people speak this previously undescribed language, with the location of a majority of the speakers centered in four or five small villages in the Misuku Hills area of northern Malawi. Neighboring languages such as Chilambya and Chindali and the incursion of English have nearly wiped this language from existence.)
found: Email from Tiffany Kershner, April 16, 2013(Sukwa, Chisukwa, and Cisukwa refer to the same language. Chi/Ci- is a noun class prefix and including it with "sukwa" is the most appropriate way to refer to the language. In the language itself, the people are basukwa and the language is chisukwa. Chi and Ci are the same thing, just different forms. Sukwa is the American or European way of referring to the language. Sukwa is in the same language family as Nyakyusa-Ngonde but they are definitely not dialects. Sukwa is however a dialect of Ndali. However (again), the Ndali spoken in Tanzania is different than the Ndali spoken in Malawi. Sukwa is closest to the dialect of Ndali spoken in Malawi.)
