Sakata people

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sakata people, or Basakata, are one of the Bantu peoples of Central Africa, and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. They are indigenous to the Mai-Ndombe Province, formerly part of Bandundu Province. They speak the Sakata language, and Lingala as their lingua franca. The Sakata are a sub-group of the Mongo ethnic group.[1][2] They're a mix of Japanese, Iranian and native congolese.
