Definition

  • The Yauma dialect is spoken in Angola and Zambia in the Kwando River area. The Ethnologue gives its family as "unclassified", an apparent error, as it notes that Yauma is "part of the Ngangela subgroup" of the Chokwe–Luchazi (K.10) Bantu languages. (It may be unclassified within that group.) describes it as a variety of Mbunda, also a K.10 Bantu language, citing Maniacky 1997.
