Kimbundu

Kimbundu is a Bantu language spoken primarily in Angola by the Ambundu people. It has a rich oral tradition and is used in daily communication, cultural practices, and local media. Kimbundu is one of Angola’s major indigenous languages and contributes to the country’s diverse linguistic landscape. It features a system of noun classes and tonal pronunciation, reflecting its Bantu roots. Recognized for its cultural importance, Kimbundu helps preserve regional identity and history, and efforts are underway to promote its use alongside Portuguese, the official language of Angola.
