+=================================================================
+Feature: #93114 - Native Support for Language Shona (Bantu) added
+=================================================================
+
+See :issue:`93114`
+
+Description
+===========
+
+TYPO3 now supports Shona (Bantu language) - the language of the Shona people of Zimbabwe - out of the box.
+
+Shona is one of the most widely spoken Bantu languages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shona_language).
+
+The ISO 639-1 code for Shona is "sn", which is how TYPO3
+is accessing the language internally.
+
+
+Impact
+======
+
+It is now possible to
+
+* Fetch translated labels from translations.typo3.org / CrowdIn automatically within the TYPO3 Backend
+* Switch the Backend Interface to Shona language
+* Create a new language in a site configuration using Shona
+* Create translation files with the "sn" prefix (such as `sn.locallang.xlf`) to create your own labels
+
+and TYPO3 will pick Shona as a language just like any other
+supported language.
