The Bakongo, or the Kongo people (Kongo: “hunters”), also referred to as the Congolese, are a Bantu ethnic group who live along the Atlantic coast of Africa from Pointe-Noire (Congo Brazzaville) to Luanda, Angola. They are primarily defined by the speaking of Kikongo, a common language.
In the late 20th century, they numbered about 10,220,000.
