(Ba)Ngala...
"BaNgala is spoken as a lingua franca in the
Uele District of
northeastern Congo-Kinshasa by 3 to 4
million people. It is
derived from the language spoken by the BaNgala, a Bantu
people who live along the Congo River, about 200 miles north of
the Equator. They were mentioned by Stanley as having actively
resisted his intrusion. The usage of the few remaining original
BaNgala differs considerably from the BaNgala lingua franca
with which we are here concerned. As a trade language, BaNgala
was simplified grammatically, and numerous loan words have
been assimilated from KiKongo and
KiSwahili, the admixture
varying in different areas. BaNgala and LiNgala, developed
independently, have [chang]ed linguistically until it is difficult for
speakers of one to understand the other."--1000 Tongues, 1972

(Li)Ngala: Upper Congo...
"LiNgala is spoken by as many as 2 to 3 million
people along a
900-mile stretch of the Congo River, extending from Kinshasa
to the river’s northern arc. Generally a ‘second’
language (a
school, commercial, or administrative tongue), LiNgala serves
as a lingua franca up and down the course of the river, and is
also used by the military and police. It is a Bantu tongue, and
much of its vocabulary and grammar and in fact, its very name,
are derived from BaNgala. It developed from the language of
BaNgala soldiers who served in the colonial army. As a lingua
franca, LiNgala was grammatically simplified, and it now
employs loan words from European tongues and from KiKongo,
KiSwahili, and other tribal languages.
Considerable dialectal
differences are noted, and official, scholastic, and trade usages are
sometimes distinguished. Upper Congo LiNgala is the usage of
the middle courses of the river."--1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info
