One would therefore wonder if the word "Kalanga" itself is not similarly composed; that is, if the word "Kalanga" is not composed of the words "Kala" with the suffix "nga" appended. In fact the word "Kalanga" unpacks to three ancient words: Ka, meaning spirit/life; la meaning water/liquid/chemical; and nga, meaning resemble. So, the word "Kalanga" means "resembling living water/liquid/chemical". It can also be translated as "resembling a liquid with a spirit".
The meaning of Kalanga as decoded above strongly suggests that the original (speaking) human spoke Kalanga. That is not all.The gods described in the ancient Sumerian tablets and Egyptian writings seem to have had Kalanga names as I will show in future posts.

Possible, I suppose. Unfortunately I can't speak your language; but if it makes sense in your language, maybe that's how the word "Kalanga" originated. Take care!
