(Ichi)Wiza...
"The Wiza language is spoken by 50,000 BaBiza (as the people
call themselves) in eastern Zambia, primarily along the Luangwa
River.   It is a Bantu tongue, closely related to IchiLala within
the Bemba language group.   A ‘Union’ version has been prepared,
utilizing a usage which accommodates both Wiza and Lala
readers.   (See IchiWiza-Lala Union.)"

(Ichi)Wiza-Lala Union...
"This union usage attempts to provide Scriptures in a literary
idiom that will serve speakers of both the Wiza and Lala lan-
guages.   It differs from other union versions (which aim to devise
a commonly understood literary tongue, synthesizing traits of
numerous dialects) in that it follows an actual spoken language
found in the Chitambo region.   The BaLala (as the Lala people
call themselves) live southwest of the BaBiza."
