How do you say Hello in the Congo?

Fun fact of the day: although French is the official language of the Republic of Congo, there are a reported 62 different languages spoked throughout the country — all of which are living languages. That makes saying “hello” not really the simplest of tasks.

So here are at least a few to start with:

  • Bonjour – French
  • Mbóte – Lingala
  • Moyo – Tshiluba
  • Mwalangikai – Kisanga (good morning)

Any linguists out there? We’d love to add more to our list!
