Indubil
Indubil is a slang spoken in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It has been noted since around the sixties - musician Sam Mangwana mentions its use in lyrics before the seventies.[1] Indubil was originally rooted in Lingala but in its continued evolution it has given birth to Kindubile, the youth language in Katanga which uses Swahili as its matrix language.[2]
As of 2010, Indubil is a lively slang and continues to evolve.
