Lwalu also known as Lwalwa is a Bantu language of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Its classification is uncertain: Nurse (2003) following Ahmed (1995) assigns all of Guthrie’s L.20 languages to Luban including Lwalu. Ehret however places it as a distant relative of many of the Zone B and C languages.Maho (2009) lists L.22 Mbagani (which has no ISO code) as closely related. Mbagani is also called Binji and has been confused in the literature with the Binji language.
