Buja–Ngombe Languages
The Buja–Ngombe languages are a group of Bantu languages reported to be a valid clade by Nurse & Philippson (2003). They are Buja (C.37), the Ngombe languages (C.41), and Tembo (C.46): : Budza– Tembo–Kunda–Gbuta–Babale, Ngombe (Doko), Bomboma, Bamwe, Dzando, Gendza, Kula Guthrie also lists two unclassified C.30 varieties, Doko and Londo (Bolondo). ''Ethnologue'' lists the first as a dialect of Ngombe, and says that the latter is most similar to Tembo, so both may belong here. '' Glottolog'' lists Bwela as closest to Tembo as well.

Glottolog
''Glottolog'' is a bibliographic database of the world's lesser-known languages, developed and maintained first at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany (between 2015 and 2020 at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, Germany). Its main curators include Harald Hammarström and Martin Haspelmath. Overview Sebastian Nordhoff and Harald Hammarström created the Glottolog/Langdoc project in 2011. The creation of ''Glottolog'' was partly motivated by the lack of a comprehensive language bibliography, especially in ''Ethnologue''. Glottolog provides a catalogue of the world's languages and language families and a bibliography on the world's less-spoken languages. It differs from the similar catalogue '' Ethnologue'' in several respects: * It tries to accept only those languages that the editors have been able to confirm both exist and are distinct. Varieties that have not been confirmed, but are inherited from anothe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ngombe Language (Congo)
Ngombe, or ''Lingombe'', is a Bantu language spoken by about 150,000 people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In general, native speakers live on either side of the Congo river, and its many tributaries; more specifically, Équateur Province, Mongala District and in areas neighboring it (Sud Ubangi and Équateur districts). Ngombe is written in Latin script. The deities of the Ngombe include the supreme creator Akongo and the ancestor goddess Mbokomu. Ngombe includes several dialects in addition to Ngombe proper (Ŋgɔmbɛ). These are ''Wiindza-Baali'', ''Doko'' (Dɔkɔ), and ''Binja'' (also rendered ''Binza'', ''Libindja'', or ''Libinja''). The latter is not the same as the Binja/Binza language. Binja dialect is primarily spoken in Orientale Province and Aketi Territory Aketi Territory is a territory in the Bas-Uele Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Tembo (Motembo) Language
Budza or Buja (Embudja, Limbudza) is a Bantu language of the Democratic Republic of Congo. There are several neighbouring minor languages which Maho (2009) lists as closely related: C371 Tembo (''Motembo'' or ''Litembo'' – distinguish Kitembo), C372 Kunda (''Likunda'' – distinguish Chikunda Chikunda, sometimes rendered as Achicunda, was the name given from the 18th century onwards to the slave-warriors of the Afro-Portuguese estates known as Prazos in Zambezia, Mozambique. They were used to defend the prazos and police their inhabitan ...), C373 Gbuta (''Egbuta'') and C374 Babale. Only Litembo, with 5,000 speakers, has been assigned an ISO code; ''Glottolog'' treats it and Likunda as a single language.
