Vashona kana Washona (kare: Vakaranga, Vahungwe) vanhu vedzinza reBhantu rinowanikwa kuChamhembe che Afurika kunyanya munyika ye Zimbabwe (kwavanoumba 85% yehuwandu hwevanhu). Vashona vanowanikwa muAfurika,  Afurika ye Pakati, Mabvazuva e Afurika nekuChamhembe che Afurika. Vamwe vaShona vanowanikwa munyika senge kuMozambiki, Bhotswana, Zambia neAfurika Chamhembe uye Kenya. 

Vane mhuri shanu dzakakura, uye vari pedyo nemamwe mapoka ane tsika nemitauro yakafanana. Madzinza makuru echiShona anosanganisa: Vazezuru, Vamanyika, Vakorekore, Vandau neVakaranga. Madzinza asingataurwe pakaruzhinji echiShona anosanganisa: Vahungwe, Vadoma, Vabuja, Vambire. Madzinza echiShona anonzi akazvarwa kubva kuMakalanga, munguva yekupesana kwakaitika pakuwa kweUmambo hweMapungubwe, uye Vashona vakange vasina zita rekunzi Vashona kusvika kuma1900s pavaka pihwa zita naClement Doke. Pamusoro pezvo, madzinza akasimbiswa nekuda kwegara mumatunhu akasiyana uye nekukanganiswa nemamwe marudzi eBantu aiuya achigara pakati pavo. Vanhu vechiShona vakasiyana asi vanokwanisa kunzwisisana kana vachitauro sezvinoita vanhu vechiNguni (Madebele neMazulu, kana Maxhosa neMaswati). Zvakanaka kuzivisana kuti kunyangwe vamwe vachinzwisisana, pane mashoko uye matauriro akasiyana, nekuda kwemanyorerwo; Chikalanga (chinoshandisa 'L' panoshandiswa 'R' uye chinoshandisa 'b' panoshandiswa 'v' muShona uye 'zw' panoiswa 'zv').

Madzinza echiShona ane hukama huri pedyo neVavhenda (Venda), Vakalanga (Bakalanga), Vabarwe (Vasena), Vataraote (Vadharaunda), neVatonga. Zviripachena munhoroondo yakagovaniswa yeMapungubwe kana Umambo hweZimbabwe uye nekutenda muna Mwari (Shona), Nwali (Venda) naMwali (Kalanga). Uye vanogovana nhoroondo neVashangani neVatsonga nekuda kwekugara panzvimbo imwechete. 

Muchinyakare vanhu vairoora vanhu vemamwe madzinza, uye paipinda rimwe dzinza vaizama kutonga rimwe, sezvakaita Vazulu => Vandebele kuVashona.

Kana murume akafirwa anokwanisa kuroora munin'ina wemukadzi wake akashaya kana kunyange muzukuru wemukadzi wake akashaya. Semuenzaniso, munin'ina wemukadzi mushakabvu anopihwa murume wake kuti amubatsire kuchengeta mhuri. Basa ra chimutsamapfihwa ndere kuona kuti anoenderera mberi nebasa nemabasa ehanzvadzi yake (kana hama) mumhuri.Ndhlovu Tine, 29 Nyamavhuvhu 2020, 'What you need to know about Shona marriages' Yakatariswa: 10 Chikumi 2021

Madzinza uye dzimba dzaive zvidhinha zvekuvakisa nzira yekupinda munyaya yezvematongerwo enyika. Pamusoro pezvo, murume aitarisira wo kuvana vake uye nevazukuru vake kutsigirwa munguva yekurwara, uye makuriro enhamba yevana yaitaridza makuriro etarisiro yekuenderera kwerutsigiro. 

Vamwe varume vakapinda muhuwandu mubatanidzwa vaidaro nekuda kwebonde yavaipihwa pakakokwa kondinendi panguva yekuzvitakura nekuyamwisa kwevakadzi. Zvakange zvisinga bvumidzwi kuti murume aite zvepabonde nemukadzi wake panguva yekuyamwisa. Uyezve, iyo nguva yekuyamwisa yaive yakareba, kusvika makore maviri kana matatu. Pakanga pasina mukaka wekugadzira wekuti mwana adye. 

 Mabhenefiti eVakadzi 
Dzimwe nguva kuroora vakadzi vakawanda kwaishandiswa senzira yekudzivirira kurambana. Kana hukama huripo pakati pemurume nemukadzi wake wakaipa nekuda kwehusimbe hwemukadzi kana zvimwe zvikonzero, iye aigona kuchengetwa semukadzi kune imwe mhando yehunhu hwake senge runako, kana hupfumi hwake. Sezvo, mutemo wekupachirikadzi nhaka yaitungamira chikonzero chekuti varume varoore vakadzi vakawanda. Panofa munin'ina wemunhu, nzanga yaitarisira hama yasara kuti itarisire shirikadzi nevana vayo.

Vamwe vakadzi vakafunga kuti paive nezvimwe zvakanakira kupinda muuzhinji mubatanidzwa. Mukumba mukadzi aitarisirwa kutakura mutoro wese wepamba. Nekuda kweizvi, vamwe vakadzi vakaroorwa vakakurudzira varume vavo kuroora mamwe madzimai kuitira kuti vasava navo kutakura mutoro wese wepamba vari vega. Kazhinji vakadzi vaida kushamwaridzana futi. Mumagariro echinyakare zvaisave zvakakodzera kuti murume nemukadzi vagovane zvido zvakafanana uye zviitiko kana kuti ivo vanofanirwa kuve pamwechete kana kuita zvese pamwechete nguva dzese. Mumwe murume aitarisirwa kutsvaga shamwari nevamwe vake, uye mukadzi nevamwe vakadzi. Saka nekuda kwekufambidzana nevamwe vakadzi vakakurudzira varume vavo kuti vaunze mumwe mukadzi mumuwanano wavo. Uye, mutemo wenhaka yechirikadzi yaipa vamwe vakadzi mufaro, nekuti yaivavimbisa rugare, hupfumi nechengetedzo mushure mekufa kwemurume.

 Kuroora 

 Kuganha 

 Kuzviisa muwanano

Kana mukadzi achizivisa murume waanoshuvira kuroora anotora mukana uyu, anosarudza murume ogona kumuroora. Nzira iyi yekuroora yakasiyana neinowanzo shandiswa yekuti murume anosarudza mukadzi. Pamusoro pezvo, murume anogona kuve asina mukadzi kana kunge akaroorwa. Pachivanhu izvi zvinogamuchirwa pabarika, apo mukadzi aikura uye aifanira kuroora. Kazhinji, varume vaisaramba chikumbiro uye vaitora vakadzi vacho. Pakutora vakadzi, vaibva vabhadhara mari yavo kumhuri yevakadzi kuti vapedzise muchato.

 Kutema ugariri 

 Kushandira mukadzi

Nzira iyi inotorwa kana murume asingakwanise kubhadhara roora kuburikidza nekubhadharwa kwemombe dzechivanhu. Kazhinji, nzira iyi inoshandiswa nemhuri dzine hurombo kana nherera. Kutema ugariri inzira yekuroora inobvumidza murume kuroora nekushandira vabereki vemukadzi pakupera kwebasa rake, anobva azokwanisa kutora mudzimai wake. Sarudzo yekutema ugariri inopa nhengo dzakatambura imwe nzira yekuroora kana vasingakwanise kubhadhara kuburikidza netsika yekushandisa mombe.

 Kuzvarira 

 Kupikisa mwana kunemunhu

Mukuzvarira zvinoreva kuti vabereki vanopa mwanasikana wavo kuenda kunoroorwa nemunhu akapfuma kana akapfuma kudarika ivo:

 Mukutsinhana nemombe,

 kana chero zvimwe zvakakosha.

Iyi fomu yemuchato inotangwa nemhuri kana iri pasi pekushushikana kwemari kana kushaya hupfumi. Pakupa mwanasikana wavo kumhuri yakapfuma, ndiyo nzira yekubaira munhu kuti awane mikana iri nani uye kubvisa kushushikana kwemari mukati memba. Muzviitiko zvakawanda, kuzvarira kunoonekwa sedanho rekupedzisira. Iyi fomu ye roora haina kuitwa zvekupokana. Zvaiwanzosangana uye kutaurirana pamusoro pemhuri mwana asati avimbiswa kumhuri yekwatezvara.

 Kutizira 

 Kusiya imba uchienda kumba kwemukomana nekuda kwekuva nenhumbu
 Kana musikana achirambidza kuva nemukomana anogona kutizira

Kutizira itsika yakajairika yemuchato iyo ichiri kuitwa pakati pesangano reVashona. Iyi fomu yemuchato inoitika kana mukadzi abata nhumbu roora isati yabhadharwa kumhuri yake. Pakati pesangano reVashona, musikana asina kuroorwa ane pamuviri haatarisirwe kugara pamba pababa vake. Vashona vaizozvidza mukadzi akazvitakura, asina kuroorwa nekuzvidza uye anoudzwa kuti agare nababa vemwana wake. Nekuda kweizvozvo, munharaunda yemazuva ano, mukadzi ane nhumbu anofanira kuzvimanikidza pamurume ane chekuita kana kutotsvaga mumwe murume anoda kuve nepamuviri, kana mhuri ikatambira vakadzi sevasina kuroorwa uye vane nhumbu.Dominique Meekers, 1993, 'The noble custom of Roora: The Marriage practices o the Shona of Zimbabwe', enthology.
