Mbunda is a Bantu language of Angola and Zambia. There are several dialects: Katavola, Yauma,[3] Nkangala, Mbalango, Sango, Ciyengele ("Shamuka"), and Ndundu, all of which are closely related.[4] Mbunda was one of six languages selected by the Instituto de Línguas Nacionais (National Languages Institute) for an initial phase to establish spelling rules in 1980[5] to facilitate teaching in schools and promoting its use.
