Zande...
"Zande is spoken by about 750,000 people, two thirds of whom
live in northeastern Congo-Kinshasa, and the rest in adjacent
areas of Sudan.   There are also Zande-speaking tribes (e.g., the
Avongara and Bandiya) in the southeastern part of the Central
African Republic
.   The Zande are spread over a wide area and
include numerous tribes of non-Zande origin who were lin-
guistically assimilated during periods of Zande expansion, the
last of which occurred in the 19th century.   Zande dialects in-
clude those of the Adio (Makaraka) tribe of Sudan, the Bandiya
and Bamboy tribes, and the three distinctive regional dialects
of the upper Mbomu River region, the Sueh and Meridi
River area, and the Wele and Dungu River area.   Also known
as Nyamnyam, Zande is classed in the Adamawa-Eastern
group."
