@Barrerahaddadariel kilombo is also kikongo, kimbundo and kikongo are very similar but the first angolan enslaved to travel to Brazil are the bakongos. Even the of the king of kongo was enslaved in brazil. NZumbi
Despite the fact I born here in Canada and my parents are Jamaicans, my great great grandmother, my grandfather grandmother from the old Kongo, When she arrive to Jamaica she and rest of the Africans not allow to speak our ancestry language. So thank you for this lessons.
You from Eastern Jamaica? I heard Eastern Jamaica had a significant amount of BaKongo I am mukongo from DRC from the old Mbanza Nsundi province of the ancient Kongo kingdom.

@@mfumumakonda7963 Will on mother side of family from western Jamaica but yes you are correct that most Bakongo descent is located in eastern part of Jamaica in the parish of St Thomas.

The number of languages from The African continent are mind blowing And even more beautiful to listen to. I didn’t know where to start. I started with Amharic, Swahili and now my primary focus is IsiZulu. It is a shame they don’t teach any African languages in here.

Yenge to you, Isa! What a POWERFUL offering to bring words from such a vital MOTHER TONGUE as Kikongo on TH-cam my beautiful young Queen. You share your personal heritage from the love of your grandmother that actually awakens the collective memory of Africans who, like I, suffer the HORRORS of our collective terrorizing European colonization.

I practice simple Igbo words every day in order to decolonize my mind and begin the reparation process of all the extreme DAMAGE to my selfhood. Bless you for using English among the European colonizer languages. It is the only language I speak fluently. All my grandmothers spoke English only.

Many blessing to you and your family! Yenge! A'ho!

My biological mother and father are also Indigenous American. Our Indigenous heritage was FORBIDDEN by LAW under the Jim Crow Lynching South where all my grandparents are from. My father finally did the research to find one of our ancestors on the rolls where the US Army kept to declare WHO was part of the Tsalagi (Cherokee) Nation. My father finally enrolled with the Eastern band Cherokee from Cherokee, NC in his retirement and became a Presiding Elder in the Metis Nation that recognizes African Indigenous Americans since the Tsalagi Nation is extremely racist and colonized and dishonors African Tsalagi citizens, especially those who were bought as slaves for the Euro-Tsalagi citizens so they could emulate and assimilate with their own invading and colonizing European genocidal oppressors as a survival and trauma reaction.

@@Barrerahaddadariel I think it's derivated of ku Mina= at the swallows. In Kongo language food is called "Madia" but it the context of getting on table to eat, the meaning is different also. Mina in Kikongo means swallowing. Meanwhile, while remembering seeing a documentary of that Jamaican dance and cult descending from Kongo's of Mandombé which also is another Jamaican dance and ancestry cult, the kumina meaning can come from the word "Malaki" that's means celebration (food, dance, eat, joy and party). It's also important to notify that in Congo Republic of Kongo's tribes that came from "Kongo dia Ntotila" in North Angola, there is a wild land called Mandombé where they are known of speaking pure and deepest Kikongo until today.
@@artisttombak8204 so what is the etymological connection between malaki and kumina? Also I see in Northern angola there is a place calles as Cumbia and Cumbia in my country and panama is a músic and dance from african origina
@@Barrerahaddadariel there isn't really one etymological connection between Malaki and Kumina, but in the context of my explanations, just understand Malaki as a Banquet (celebration or festivities) which can mean at the swallowing=Kumina. But the most important thing is to be aware than the meaning can differ from ethnical group inside the Kongos. In differents parts of scattered Kongo's tribes, we have differents words spelling and meanings that completely different from the (original) Kikongo and I don't wanna pretend that this means exactly what I was explaining previously, because once deported the slaves were forbidden to speak their native languages and they had to mix them up with colonizers languages that can also had given many others derivative words and expressions known in these modern days.
Kongo dia Mfwa, maybe... It's not because Ferdinand de Lesseps decided to rename the country like that , that people should go on... It's like as if Tel Aviv was called Hitlerville. Let's collectively shake off the cognitive dissonance cognitive❤
This is the language we speak and sing ritualy in Palo Mayombe, a Congo religion that survived in Cuba since 400 years ago. It was passed down to me by my master, as she says, it has the power to call spirits. Marvelous!
I'm from the DRC (aka Congo) and yes I'm Congolese. I find it easy to speak Lingala at times, but struggle to speak the dialect kikongo. Also you're such a beautiful lady.
By the way do you know the true meaning of 1.mosi , 2 zole ,3 tatu , 4 Ya ? You are actually quoting a simplified book of genesis when counting from one to ten. i am a kongo from brazzaville.
Mosi, zole, tatu, y’a, tanu is one, two, tree, four and five. I’m from Congo Brazzaville too. The Kongo language is spoken differently it’s depend geographically. Like the Kongo in the bible is very difficult
I took something called the Ancestry DNA test. My highest percentages of Ancestry are Nigeria and Cameroon Congo and Western Bantu Peoples. Which I think is really Bakongo.
Bantu people were disperse all over the World America, Brazil so on. They are mainly in Congo Brazzaville, Congo Kinshasa, part of Gabon, Angola and part of Cameroun all these Countries were the Kingdom of Kongo which the West divided
Which country you from? You Haitian or Cuban? Most bantus from both Haiti and Cuba were BaKongo. Linguistics and genetics confirm this. BaKongo don't share same dna as other Africans in central Africa.

I barely recognize what you said I had to read it to make the connection. However thank you for bringing up kiKongo on such huge platform such as TH-cam
The accent or pronunciation does not mean anything. She’s learning and doing better I do understand all words she said. She speaks better than my 38 years old son

Good for you...and good for him.
Now, both of know that Kikongo is a real language. That's a win right here.
@@makutumafwa7496 Yeah, it’s a pretty language. I’m glad the game exposed many people, including myself, to it. After looking this language up, I found many other different African languages from different regions that peaked my interest. While I like Kikongo, Yoruba is now my favorite African language.
Who came because of Metal Gear?

What do you think of the language?

My name Mlungisi is considered Zulu. But Lungisi is a KiKongo word. I'm actually African American so I know I have BaKongo ancestors.
Remember both IsiZulu and KiKongo have a similar origin which is the Bantu languages so it is possible you will similar words than other languages that are not Bantu for example the word "Zulu" has a same meaning in KiKongo too and etc.

Thank you a lot. I decided to learn Kikongo today!💖💜
re you congolic?
Mbote! Kiese mingi na ku wa Kikongo! I spent my youth in DRC. I speak kituba and lingala a little better than Kikongo. It would sure be great if google translate would add kikongo. I notice they have lingala now. I think Kikongo is a much prettier language than the other two. I hope you make another kikongo video!

Amazing video but your accent and pronunciation is changing the language and it is not quite accurate I’m sorry I applaud your efforts but this is not it... I barely recognize what you said I had to read it to make the connection. However thank you for bringing up kiKongo on such huge platform such as TH-cam
The accent or pronunciation does not mean anything. She’s learning and doing better I do understand all words she said. She speaks better than my 38 years old son
