Mahongwe

Mahongwe is an undocumented and threatened Bantu language spoken in Gabon. The Mahongwe language is a language spoken by the Mahongwe people, belonging to the Bantu ethnic group, who mainly reside in the central Gabon region. It is one of several Bantoid languages spoken in the Central African region.

The Mahongwe language is part of the Bantuid branch of the Niger-Congo language family. Under the broad umbrella of Bantu languages, Mahongwe is classified within the subgroup of Northern Bantu languages, which includes languages spoken in Cameroon, Gabon, Congo, and the Central African Republic.

Mahongwe is spoken by around 20,000 people, mainly in Gabon, but there are also some communities of Mahongwe speakers in other parts of Central Africa. The language has no official status and is not widely taught in schools, so it is considered an endangered language.
