Umbundu

Your first steps in Umbundu (South Mbundu), the most widely spoken indigenous language of Angola — the language of the Ovimbundu of the central highlands (Huambo, Bie, Benguela). Greet, count, and talk about home, with a say-it-like hint on every line. Umbundu is one of the newest languages on Bantu Plaza and still growing — we're continuing to refine it with native speakers.
