Lingala language, origin and dialects spoken over the world.
Origin and History
Lingala is a Bantu language spoken in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the northwestern part and a significant part of the Republic of the Congo. In Angola, the Central African Republic, and the Southwest Southcentral Republic of South Sudan, it is spoken to a smaller extent. About 40 million lingalophones are present. Lingala emerged from Bobangi (Bangi), a language along the Congo River that has traditionally functioned as a business language. Bobangi expanded to other areas during the Belgian colonisation of the region in the later part of the 19th century. For missionary and administrative purposes, the colonial government required a shared language, and Bobangi matched their purpose.
As distinct from Bobangi, this common language was called Bangala. To standardise the language and broaden its vocabulary, Catholic missionaries sought renamed it as Lingala in the process, a word which first appeared in 1903.
It was set apart into two separate divisions: Regular Lingala and Spoken Lingala.
The literary variation of the language used in formal settings, such as schooling, religious practise and print and electronic media, is typicalstandard Lingala. It is taught at all educational levels. The role of Catholic missionaries is traditionally related to it.
The variety that is used in casual daily contexts is spoken Lingala. It has a complete morphological noun prefix system, but it is more lax than in standard Lingala with the agreement system. Furthermore, there are similarities between the Kinshasa spoken Lingala and that of Brazzaville. Both varieties have a large amount of French and other Bantu language borrowings.
Countries spoken
In an area comprising the north-western part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the south of its capital, Kinshasa, and the northern part of the Republic of the Congo, especially in part of its capital, Brazzaville, more than 10 million people speak Lingala.
