The Waima’a people are hemmed in by two much larger populations, namely the Makasae to the east, and the Galoli to the west. Speakers live in small hamlets which have populations of 50-100 people. As a relatively small cultural group, the Waima’a people have had a long history of interaction with speakers of other languages in the region (DoBeS)
