Ibinda (Fiote) Language


Ibinda (Fiote or Fyote) is a Bantu language spoken in the Angolan province and exclave of Cabinda.

It is a combination of several dialects of the Kongo language (Kikongo) spoken by small ethnic groups in Cabinda. Among the principal ones are Iwóyo, Ikuákongo (Kakongo), Ikóchi, Ilínji (Ilinge), Kiyómbe (Quiombe), Kisúndi and Ivili[2] although some are sometimes considered separate from Ibinda
Cabinda is separated from the rest of Angola by a narrow strip of territory belonging to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which bounds the province on the south and the east. Cabinda is bounded on the north by the Republic of the Congo, and on the west by the Atlantic Ocean. Adjacent to the coast are some of the largest offshore oil fields in the world.
