Luyana (Luyaana), also known as Luyi (Louyi, Lui, Rouyi), is a Bantu language spoken by almost half a million people in Zambia and in discontinuous areas of Namibia and Angola. It appears to be an divergent lineage of Bantu. Ethnologue lists Kwandi, Imilangu, Mbume, and possibly Kwangwa (Kwanga), and once listed Mbowe, as dialects. Maho (2009) classifies these as distinct languages; it is not clear if any of them are part of the divergent Luyana branch of Bantu, or if they are Kavango languages.
