Added lines 3-4:
Mongo and Nkundo belong to the Bongo Group (Guthrie C61) of Bantu. "Mongo is the name most currently used for a whole cluster of more or less closely related dialects. Originally the term was applied only to the northern section, with Nkundo being restricted to the southern part (between the equator and the River Kasai.) Nowadays, the tendency is to use the term (Lo-)Mongo for the whole ethnic/linguistic group, reserving Nkundo for the sections of the western part" (Hulstaert, personal communication, 1986). (Webbook)
