The Mongo or Mawngaw people are an ethnic group who live in the equatorial forest of Central Africa. They are the second largest ethnic group in the Democratic Republic of Congo, highly influential in its north region. A diverse collection of sub-ethnic groups, they are mostly residents of a region north of the Kasai and the Sankuru Rivers, south of the main Congo River bend and many other provinces. Their highest presence is in the province of Équateur and the northern parts of the Bandundu Province.

The Mongo people, despite their diversity, share a common legend wherein they believe that they are the descendants of a single ancestor named Mongo.

The Mongo people traditionally speak the Lomongo language, also called Nkundo and Lonkundo. The Lingala language, however, often replaces Mongo in urban centers. This language has about 200 dialects, and these are found clustered regionally as well as based on Mongo sub-ethnic groups such as Bolia, Bokote, Bongandu, Ekonda, Iyaelima, Konda, Mbole, Mpama, Nkutu, Ntomba, Sengele, Bembe, Songomeno, Dengese and Tetela-Kusu, Bakutu, Boyela, Lokele, Wongo and many others.

FRENCH PDF EXCERPTS

- Mpe Mwängi m'îloonga móyangá nkóko na mikedi = God who creates the rivulets, who creates streams/who creates springs and streams

- Wängi means creator; it is an agent noun derived from the verb -ánga, commonly used for the creative act. Among the creatures, the ancestors occupy a privileged place. From where comes Angankóó, literally “created-ancestors”, therefore creator of the ancestors. Along the same lines, we point out Wãnganjálé “creator of rivers”. It is not excluded that we can see here a simple interpretation from the name Wãngányáé of the Boyela. We still hear among the Nkundó: Itúlaéfa "forger of days" (or perhaps “of the sun”, both translations are possible). Yemekonjî, composed of a deverbative derivative of -ema "to form, to make" and from the plural bekonji “hills, termite mounds”, therefore “form-hills”, allusion to its Powerful. More simply: yema of the same verb. Affixes denote a person doing the action in a usual way. ïsaka, from the verb -isa “to hide”, alludes to its mysterious character. Yana, where we see the root -ana, considers it as giving to humans an offspring, as creator of children. Nkóló 'master, lord' needs no further explanation. We hear also Bomóngó 'owner'. These two words express the supreme domain of God

- A study by these white people suggests a relationship between Mbomba and the Mbumba of the Bakongo and Bayombe still cites the variants Muumba (Swahili), Mbumbi (Shona), Umbumbi (Thebele)
