The Hunde live in the province of [[Nord-Kivu]] and the regions of [[Masisi]] and [[Rutshuru]]. According to [[Ethnologue]], the linguistic lineage of the Hunde is [[Niger-Congo languages|Niger-Congo]], [[Atlantic-Congo languages|Atlantic-Congo]], [[Volta-Congo languages|Volta-Congo]], [[Benue-Congo languages|Benue-Congo]], [[Bantoid]], [[Southern Bantoid languages|Southern]], [[Narrow Bantu]], Central, J, and Shi-Havu. The language of the Hunde is Kihunde, and alternate names are Kobi and Rukobi.
