Kikongo is the Language of the Bakongo People…Wordpress
4. Bakongo
Bakongo or Kongo people are a Bantu ethnic group who speak the Kikongo language. They mostly live along the coast of the Atlantic of Central Africa. They are located in the DRC, Congo and Angola. There are many theories as to how the Kongo people got their name. Some believe the name is derived from the word N’kongo, which means “hunter”, but others believe it is meant to mean “mountains” in the Bantu language. There is evidence that the area in which the Kongo people reside has been populated for thousands of years, but there is no indication as to who was living there.
