- Die Luvale – auch Lovale, in Angola Luena oder Lwena genannt – sind ein Bantuvolk, das im Osten von Angola und im Westen von Sambia beheimatet ist. Sie werden zur Großgruppe der Lunda gezählt, obwohl sie den Chokwe näher stehen. Es werden 20.000 Luvale geschätzt. Die Bezeichnung Luena steht mit dem Fluss Luena in Verbindung, nach dem die angolanische Stadt Luena benannt ist.
- Los Lovale son un grupo étnico de unos 100.000 individuos que viven en el noroeste de Zambia. Hablan lovale y profesan tanto el cristianismo como las religiones tradicionales. Las ceremonias de iniciación lovale para chicas y chicos incluyen danzantes enmascarados que representan a varios espíritus. Son primordialmente pescadores y cazadores, pero también cultivan mandioca.

In Zambia they are found mainly in the North-Western Province of Zambia, centred in the town of Zambezi which was previously called Balovale. Some Zambian Luvale have left their ancestral lands for economic reasons and can be found in other locations in Zambia such as Lakanga Swamp. There is also considerable Rural-Urban migration to Lusaka. In Angola they reside in eastern Moxico Province. The Lovale people are not united under one paramount chief but are composed of a number of subgroups speaking the Lovale language or dialects of it. The Luvale language (sometimes called Lwena) is a west central Bantu language, and a tonal language. The Lovale are closely related to the Chokwe who ended the Lunda Kingdom, and Chokwe and Lunda people also live in the same area. Within Zambia the Luvale are famous for their traditional beliefs in witchcraft or voodoo which are still commonly practised, in both rural and urban areas. The Lovale people together with the Chokwe, Luchazi and Mbunda are famous for the Makishi dancers who perform a masquerade in intricate masks and costumes.
- Les Luvale (ou Lovale ou Balovale ou Lwena) sont un peuple bantou d'Afrique australe, surtout présent à l'est de l'Angola et à l'ouest de la Zambie, également en République démocratique du Congo.
