The language may be called lengua conga or lengua congo but is generally referred to simply as lengua, meaning "language" in Spanish.

dbo:abstract
  • Habla Congo or Habla Bantú is a Kongo-based liturgical language of the Palo religion with origins in Cuba, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, later spreading to other countries in the Caribbean Basin. The language may be called lengua conga or lengua congo but is generally referred to simply as lengua, meaning "language" in Spanish. It involves code-switching between Kongo-derived words and phrases; Bozal Spanish, the archaic Spanish creole of the Caribbean slave plantations, or at least an imitation of it; and colloquial Caribbean Spanish. A palero (Palo priest) would say that he habla congo (or habla conga) "speaks Kongo," habla en congo, or habla palero. It is not secret, but it is intended to be impenetrable to the uninitiated. (en)
  • Le habla congo (ou habla palera, lengua conga, lengua congo, et plus généralement lengua) est une langue définie par certains auteurs (Lydia Cabrera) comme un créole de plusieurs langues bantoues (principalement le kikongo) et de l'espagnol, par d'autres comme une survivance du kikongo influencée par l'espagnol et d'autres langues bantoues (Armin Schwegler) parlé à Cuba, le plus souvent dans le cadre de pratiques cultuelles liées au palo mayombe. C'est la dernière forme persistante aujourd'hui de l'espagnol dit « bozal ». (fr)
