Losengo (Lusengo) is a Bantu language spoken in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It has had a significant effect on Lingala, the most important Bantu language in the two Congos.
Maho (2009) lists the following dialects:[2]
- Poto (Pfoto), including Yakata
- Mpesa (Limpesa)
- Mbudza (cf. the related Budza language)
- Mangala (Ngala) [the name of the Bangi lingua franca that became Lingala]
- Loki (Boloki)
- Kangana
- Ndolo
(Yamongeri, however, is a variety of Mongo.)
