<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4127788, member: 8267"]I wouldn't be surprised if at least some Kuba speak Swahili. It serves as a "lingua-franca" in much of eastern Africa. But their native language is Bushongo. The official language of the Democratic Republic of Congo is French, with 4 native national languages recognized - Kituba/Kikongo, Lingala, Swahili and Tshiluba. There are also several hundred additional native languages in the region. It is not unusual for Africans to be multi-multi lingual.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
