Yans (Yanzi) is aBantu language spoken in theDemocratic Republic of the Congo by theBayanzi.
There are six language varieties Guthrie classified as Bantu B.85 (Yans):
According to Nurse (2003), most belong to theYaka languages, but one or two are among theBoma–Dzing languages. Maho (2009) notes that the Tsong variety is the then-unclassified "Songo" language (ISO [soo]) ofEthnologue and is the one that does not belong with the rest.Glottolog likewise classifies "Nsong-Mpiin" [soo] apart from Yansi.
