Context : for our contribution to the World Report of UNESCO for the international year of indigenous languages, we prepared a list of languages spoken in the ex-province Orientale, now the provinces Bas-Uélé, Haut-Uélé, Ituri and Tshopo. Unfortunately, this list was never published in attachment to the report. We therefore decided to put the list online here. Please cite this work as :
