MÁS SOBRE EL NÚMERO DE HABLADORES
"The numbers above proposed by Ethnologue 1999 (27,000) and UDSM LoT project 2009 (41,290) seem to be closer to the population of ethnic group. The population of speakers and that of ethnic group are rarely distinguishable especially for Bantu speakers... No creditable number of speakers is available."

COMENTARIOS SOBRE CONTEXTO DE LA LENGUA: "Bende as many other Tanzanian Bantu is highly threatened by the National language, Swahili. Moreover, Bende is used exclusively by Bende people, while other neighboring languages like Nyamwezi, Fipa and Ha are also used (although not so much) as a common language by non-native speakers. It means Bende has the lower status in their indigenous area. Not popular in larger cities at all."
Alfabetos, sistemas de escritura y ortografías: Roman-based
Ortografía: "A tentative Roman-based writing system was proposed by myself [Yuko Abe] and SIL-International. Orthography testing is in progress by SIL-International. The writing system is similar to that of the Standard Swahili."
