- Short Description
- "The Turu (Arimi, Wanyaturu) are an ethnic and linguistic group based in the Singida Region of north-central Tanzania who speak the Bantu Kinyaturu. In 1993, the Turu population was estimated to number 556,000 . The current population of the Turu is now over 1,000,000. They speak the Turu language
Arimi (the people of Rimi) is the original endonym. The word Arimi itself literally means farmers. Wanyaturu (the people of Nyaturu) is replacing it, reflecting Swahili contact; indeed, the prefix wa- is Swahili rather than the Turu a-." - (en.wikipedia.org 11.08.2021) - Entity Encoding
