Bantu language of Zambia
Not to be confused with Mbwela language (Angola).
Nkoya is a Bantu language of Zambia. It may be one of the Luba languages, and is at least Luban.
Maho (2009) considers the various varieties—Mbwera, Kolwe, Shangi, Shasha, and Nkoya proper—to be distinct languages in an Nkoya language cluster.[2]
