Molengue LanguageThe Molengue language (also called Balengue, Molendji) is a Bantu language of southern Equatorial Guinea, spoken between Bata and the Gabon border near the coast. The speakers have come under increasing Fang influence. The Ethnologue describes it as a member of the B subgroup of Northwest Bantu, while Echegaray is more specific, saying that it is linguistically a member of the Sheke group (B21 of Guthrie's Bantu subclassification): - "Los balengues - lingisticamente al menos - estn emparentados con el grupo sheke en general, y especialmente con itemus y nvikos." (p. 51)
Echegaray lists their main settlements as being located south of Bata between Punta Nguba and the Benito River, as well as three before the Ndote River, and a few further south or inland.
