Learn how to speak Kituba
Kituba is a widely used lingua
franca in Central Africa. It is a creole language based on
Kikongo, a family of closely related Bantu languages. It is
an official language in Republic of the Congo and Democratic
Republic of the Congo.
It is not entirely accurate to call Kituba a creole language
as it lacks the distinction between superstrate and
substrate influence that is typical of creole development.
