(Chi)Lunda: Ndembu...
"The Lunda language is spoken in several forms in southeastern
Congo and in adjacent Angola and Zambia.   The Ndembu, or
Lunda of Kalunda, are the central tribe.   (URuund is the northern
Congolese form).   This language is spoken by about 200,000
people over an area stretching southwestard from Lubum-
bashi.   It is a Bantu language, related to Chokwe.   Scriptures have
also appeared in Lunda of Kambove, or Mwante Yamvo.   (See
URuund.)"
