Zambia has 73 tribes. Many of these do not have a traditional dress. They wear animal skins, strips/pieces of cloth, beads, traditional rattles, etc for their traditional ceremonies. However, a chitenge, which is an African coton material is worn often as a traditional outfit. This is the norm throughout Africa. There are some tribes like the Lozi who have traditional outfits. The wear flared dresses (both men and women) which are called musisi. The styles for men and women are different of course. The men wear a flared skirt with a waistcoat made of African print. The men also wear this with a traditional cotton hat, which is commonly red in colour. Because of many tribes that don't have a traditional dress per se, it is taken that the Zambian national dress is a misisi. Sometimes senior government officials or other influential people will wear a musisi to grace a special occassion. There are other traditional outfits but they are not so commonly seen unless they are worn by their chief/chieftainess at a traditonal ceremony. I don't know what these other outfits are called.

There isn't really an exact equivant of the word 'Hello' in Zambia. The general greeting is to say 'How are you?' which is "Bwanji!" (prononounced 'Bwan-jj'). This is the word in the Chi-Njanja lanaguage, although there are around 73 separate languages spoken in Zambia. Nyanja is mainly spoken in the capital city (Lusaka) and surrounding areas and is a corrupted variation of the Chi-Chewa language spoken in eastern Zambia and Malawi. Please note that 'Bwanji!' is the informal greeting, which would be used amongst close people of equal social status. An elder or higher ranked indervidual would be greeted ''Mulibwanji!''(muli-bwan-jj) to show them respect. As you are being asked 'How are you' you would normally respond likewise. ''Bwino!'' or ''Tili bwino!'' means 'I'm good thanks!', ''manyingi'' means 'Not so great', and ''eye'' (pronounced 'ey-hey') literally means 'yes' but in this context means 'I'm ok'. After responding, it is quite normal to then say "Bwanji!" or ''Mulibwanji!'' to whomsoever greeted you.
