Gweno is spoken by several thousand people in the North Pare Mountains of north-eastern Tanzania. The Gweno are included under the blanket ethnic term "Pare", which they generally acknowledge, but it should be noted that the proper ethnonym for the majority group inhabiting the Pare Mountains (North and South) is Asu for the people. All Gweno are, and probably have long been, bilingual in Asu, although the reverse is definitely not true. Most Gweno as well as Asu nowadays also speak Swahili.
