Learn lari language

The Lari (Kiladi or Kilari) are an ethno-linguistic group in the Democratic Republic of Congo. They belong to the Kongo subgroup, apart from the Yombé or Vili. Formed at the end of the 19th century, they now account for between 20% and 25% of the total population of the Congo. Thus, the number of Lari speakers in the country is estimated at more than 1,2 million people. They live in the cities of Pointe-Noire and Brazzaville.
