Africa, the origin of everything.

In Africa, a diastema—the gap between the upper front teeth—carries unique names and cultural significance across different regions. For example it is known in some places to be a sign of great wisdom, wealth, and even sexual prowess.

In Zulu, it's called "itsaka," while in Northern Sotho, South Africa, it's either “Mokhino” or "lesoro la mare." The Sesotho term is "boroko," and in Uganda, Runyoro speakers refer to it as "ensanani," In Malawi, among the Chewa, it’s known as "mpata" or "kampata," and the Kalanga term is "hatji." Shona speakers call it "saka," while in Sepedi, it’s "mohlaga." In Swahili, the word is "mwanya," in Otjiherero, Namibia, it’s "ohivara," in isiXhosa, "umhlantla," and in Zambia, it’s "umuchene” in Lozi/Barotse.

It is an inherited trait, so chances are people with diastema all share a common ancestor.
No matter the region, it is often seen as a mark of beauty or distinction, celebrated and embraced as a unique feature.
What do you call it?

“I am Nigerian because a white man created Nigeria and gave me that identity. I am black because the white man constructed black to be as different as possible from his white. But I was Igbo before the white man came. My point is that the only authentic identity for the African is the tribe."
