Tshiluba (Kinshasa) Rosary Prayers

This language is also known as Luba-Kasai, Luba-Lulua, and Kinshasa. It is a national language of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Kasai-Occidental and Kasai-Oriental provinces. It is spoken by approximately 6,300,000 people. It is considered a Bantu language. It has also been identified as the most untranslatable language in the world by the British translation company, Today's Translations. For example, the word "ilunga" means "a person ready to forgive any abuse the first time, to tolerate it a second time, but never a third time". It is used more commonly as a personal name.
