Central Banda language

Central Banda is a dialect continuum of the Banda languages spoken by around one million people,[citation needed] primarily in the Central African Republic. The varieties may be mutually intelligible, especially the Mid-Southern–Gobu–Kpagua–Mono–Ngundu cluster. The other varieties are Bambari, Banda-Banda, Mbrès, Ndélé, and Togbo-Vara Banda.

The following is the Banda-Tangbago dialect:

Vowel tones are: rising /ǎ/, falling /â/, mid /ā/, low /à/, and high /á/.
