What languages are spoken bt Mbuti people?

The Mbuti people, also known as the Efe, are an indigenous group in the Ituri Forest of the Democratic Republic of Congo. They primarily speak Efe, a language belonging to the Central Sudanic language family.

While Efe is their primary language, they also have some understanding of Lingala, a Bantu language widely spoken in the region.

It's important to note that the term "Mbuti" is considered somewhat outdated and potentially offensive by some members of the group, as it was used by colonizers. They prefer to be called by their self-designation, Efe.
