Kuba (Likuba, Kyba) is a Bantu language spoken on the right bank of the Congo River in the Republic of Congo.
Ethnologue reports that it is mutually intelligible with Kwala, in the C.20 group where it was classified by Guthrie 1948. However, Nurse & Philippson (2003),[3] it belongs with the Bangi–Ntomba group, C.30.
