Kongo or Kikongo, is the Bantu language spoken by the Bakongo and Bandundu people living in the tropical forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo and Angola. It is a tonal language and formed the base for Kituba, a Bantu creole and lingua franca throughout much of west central Africa. It was spoken by many of those who were taken from the region and sold as slaves in the Americas. For this reason, while Kongo still is spoken in the above-mentioned countries, creolized forms of the language are found in ritual speech of Afro-American traditional religions, especially in Brazil, Cuba, and Haiti. It is also one of the sources of the Gullah people's language and the Palenquero creole in Colombia. The vast majority of present-day speakers live in Africa. There are roughly seven million native speakers of Kongo, with perhaps two million more who use it as a second language.
It is also the base for a creole used throughout the region: Kituba, also called Kikongo de L'état or Kikongo ya Leta ("Kongo of the state" in French or Kongo), Kituba and Monokituba (also Munukituba). The constitution of the Republic of the Congo uses the name Kitubà, and the one of the Democratic Republic of the Congo uses the term Kikongo, even if Kituba is used in the administration.

Mbanza-Nsole aldeia vizinha à Ntaya (aldeia do profeta Angolano: Simão Gonçalves Toko). Falando dos Bazombo: “A sua apetência pelo tráfico de todo o tipo de mercadorias afectou profundamente a sua existência. O ambiente natural e a sua cultura imediatista, relacionada com o comércio de longa distância, LEVARAM A QUE SEJAM CONSIDERADOS COMO COMERCIANTES NATOS, DAÍ, A SUA SEDUÇÃO PELO COMÉRCIO DESDE A MAIS TENRA IDADE ”(Prof. Dr. José Carlos de Oliveira ¬Antropólogo) "O Portuzombo": Ele chama a si mesmo de Muzombo (o velho Muzombo).
