KUSINTHA CODE YA CHIYOWOYELO CHA CHITUMBUKA (CHANGING TUMBUKA LANGUAGE GRAMMAR CODE FROM "chiTumbuka" into "Chitumbuka")

[kulemba source]

This is calling to all Tumbuka speakers to attend this discussion about changing the Tumbuka language writing grammar. The Tumbuka language grammar (name) has always been written as "chiTumbuka" instead of "ChiTumbuka" or "Chitumbuka" like most of the Bantu language groups are being written. Much research has been done to who came up with the grammar but there is no source mentioning. Most natives when looking for Tumbuka language on list of languages, they end up not finding it because they look on letter "C" as they expect to find it written as "Chitumbuka" or "ChiTumbuka", but it is written as chiTumbuka and is found on letter "T".
This is very confusing to natives than one who is not a native and is just hearing about Tumbuka.
If you are not a native and still want to give some ideas, comments, etc, we will welcome them provided they are constructive. Remember, this is not voting but a discussion. Below are parts where you can give your thoughts.
