Bantu language spoken in Angola and DRC
For other languages with the name spoken in Congo, see Yaka language (disambiguation).
Yaka, also spelled Iaca and Iyaka, is a Bantu language spoken in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Angola. There are two dialects, Yaka proper, which comprises 99% of speakers, and Ngoongo (distinguish West Ngongo language).[2] The alleged varieties Pelende and Lonzo are political rather than ethnolinguistic entities.[3]
