The following quote describes the indigenous inhabitants of 19th-century Tanganyika as "pre-literate." "We do not know what inland Tanganyikans believed in the early nineteenth century. They were pre-literate, and the religions of pre-literate peoples not only leave little historical evidence but are characteristically eclectic, mutable, and unsystematic." [Iliffe 1979, pp. 21-22]
