Sangage Sheikhdom

The Sangage Sheikhdom was a coastal African sheikhdom (Portuguese: xeicado) in modern-day Mozambique, established in the mid-1600s and lasting until 1913. The people of Sangage retained a distinct culture but are related to the Swahili people; their language, Esangaji,^[1] is also similar to the Swahili language.
