(Ki)Kongo: Fioti...
"The Fioti dialect of Kongo is the idiom in use
north of Boma and
among scattered communities along the Congo River, from
Brassaville to its mouth. It is spoken as well by groups who call
themselves Buende and Vili. Although no
‘union’ literary usage
has been devised to accommodate speakers of all Kongo dialects,
the immediate success of the KiFioti Bible, published in 1905,
destined Fioti to become the standard written form of the
language. A considerable KiKongo literature has developed, but
the KiFioti Bible remains the most widely used book published."--1000

(Ki)Kongo: Kituba...
"Kituba, or KiKongo-Lingua Franca, is in use
by at least one and
a half million people in the two Congos, Kinshasa and Brassaville.
It is sometimes inaccurately described as an artificial language (a
term reserved for such invented tongues as Esperanto and
Volapük), because it was never anyone’s native tongue.
Kituba
began its development as a trade language in the southern part
of the former Belgian Congo. It served as a means of communi-
cation between the KiKongo-speaking peoples native to those
regions and the LiNgala and BaNgala
speakers from Upper
Congo, who frequented that area to engage in the trade of ivory
and slaves. Later, with the establishment of the colonial adminis-
tration system and regular trade routes, increased intertribal
contact and the need for a common official language led to even
wider use of Kituba. It became the standard lingua franca of
southwestern Belgian Congo and adjacent parts of French
Congo. Successive generations in the commercial centers of
these regions grew up bilingual, knowing the tribal language of
their parents for use at home and Kituba for outside contacts.
Thus, from a trade language, Kituba developed into a pidgin and
beyond. For many it has already become the primary language,
and, with increasing frequency, it is the only language many
young people know. In a number of areas, however, it is giving
way to LiNgala (q.v.)." --1000
