Ndombe (Dombe) is a Bantu language of Angola. It was assigned by Guthrie to Bantu group R.10, which apart from Umbundu Pfouts (2003) established as part of the Kavango–Southwest branch of Bantu.[3] Though not specifically addressed, Ndombe may be in that branch as well.
There is no standard form of Ndombe,[4] nor an established writing system.[5]
