Their language is one of the most populous of the Central Sudanic languages. There are three-quarters of a million Lendu speakers in the DRC. A conflict between the Lendu and Hema people was the basis of the Ituri conflict. Ethnologue gives Bbadha as an alternate name of Lendu, but Blench (2000) lists Badha as a distinct language. A draft listing of Nilo-Saharan languages, available from his website and dated 2012, lists Lendu/Badha. Besides the Balendru themselves, Lendu is spoken as a native language by a portion of the Hema, Alur, and Okebu. PhonologyDemolin (1995) posits that Lendu has voiceless implosives, {{IPA|/ɓ̥ ɗ̥ ɠ̊/}} ({{IPA|/ƥ ƭ ƙ/}}). However, Goyvaerts (1988) had described these as creaky-voiced implosives {{IPA|/ɓ̰ ɗ̰ ɠ̰/}}, as in Hausa, contrasting with a series of modally voiced implosives {{IPA|/ɓ ɗ ɠ/}} as in Kalabari, and Ladefoged judges that this seems to be a more accurate description.[1] References1. ^{{SOWL|87–89}} {{Languages of the Democratic Republic of the Congo}}{{Central Sudanic languages}}{{Authority control}}{{Africa-ethno-group-stub}}{{DRCongo-stub}} 3 : Central Sudanic languages|Languages of the Democratic Republic of the Congo|Ethnic groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo |
