The capital city of Tanzania, located in the central part of the country.
From Bantu languages spoken in Tanzania; the name's exact meaning and derivation are debated, possibly related to Bantu roots meaning 'sinking' or 'gathering.' Dodoma became the capital in 1974, replacing Dar es Salaam.
Dodoma is one of the world's lesser-known capitals, which is surprising since it's a relatively new one—Tanzania moved its capital there in the 1970s partly to centralize government away from the coast, but it never became as famous as Dar es Salaam.
