Asoa people
(Redirected from Asua people)
The Asua or Asoa, also known as the Aka, are an Mbuti pygmy people of the Ituri forest.[1] They speak a Central Sudanic language, Asuati, and are the only Pygmy group in the east to have their own language, though it is closely related to Mangbetu.
The Asua have a patron–vassal relationship with several neighboring peoples, including, the Malele, Meegye, Makere, Popoyi, Mangbetu, and Abulu (all Central Sudanic) and the Liko and Ndaka (both Bantu).[2] The Asua or Asoa speak a central Sudanic language Asuati [citation needed].
