Luban languages
The Luban languages are a group of Bantu languages established by Christine Ahmed (1995). They constitute half of Guthrie's Zone L. The languages, or clusters, along with their Guthrie identifications, are:
- Yazi (L20)
- Songe (Songye), Binji (L20)
- Hemba: Hemba (L20), Kebwe (L30), Bangubangu of Kabambare (D20)
- Luba (L30): Kaonde (L40), Kete (L20), Kanyok, Luba-Kasai (TshiLuba), Luba-Katanga (KiLuba)–Sanga–Zela, Bangubangu (of Mutingua, D20)
| Luban | |

| Geographic distribution | S DR-Congo, C Zambia |

The remaining L20 (Songe) languages, Lwalu, Luna, and Budya, presumably belong here.[2]

gollark: Actually, if you would provide VAST quantities of data so I don't have to harvest it manually that would be great?
gollark: Although their thing could just be ignoring blocking fields.
gollark: This does break knights, admittedly.
gollark: You just define the direction of each piece and the proportion of each turn to assign to each one also.
