The Luban languages are a group of Bantu languages established by Christine Ahmed (1995). They constitute half of Guthrie's Zone L. The languages, or clusters, along with their Guthrie identifications, are:
- Yazi (L20)
- Songe (Songye), Binji (L20)
- Hemba: Hemba (L20), Kebwe (L30), Bangubangu of Kabambare (D20)
- Nkoya (Mbwera) (L60) [perhaps in Luba]
- Luba (L30): Kaonde (L40), Kete (L20), Kanyok, Luba-Kasai (TshiLuba), Luba-Katanga (KiLuba)–Sanga–Zela, Bangubangu (of Mutingua, D20)
The remaining L20 (Songe) languages, Lwalu, Luna, and Budya, presumably belong here.[2]
