Sena is a Bantu language spoken in the four provinces of central Mozambique (Zambezi valley): Tete, Sofala, Zambezia and Manica.

There were an estimated 900,000 native Sena speakers in Mozambique in 1997, with at least 1.5 million if including those who speak it as a second language.

Sena is spoken in several dialects, of which Rue (also called Barwe or Cibalke) and Podzo are divergent.

The Sena of Malawi may be a distinct language.

Barwe (Chibarwe) has official recognition in Zimbabwe.
