Losengo (Lusengo) is a Bantu language spoken in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It has had a significant effect on Lingala, the most important Bantu language in the two Congos.

Maho (2009) lists the following dialects:[2]

  • Poto (Pfoto), including Yakata
  • Mpesa (Limpesa)
  • Mbudza (cf. the related Budza language)
  • Mangala (Ngala) [the name of the Bangi lingua franca that became Lingala]
  • Loki (Boloki)
  • Kangana
  • Ndolo

(Yamongeri, however, is a variety of Mongo.)
