Lese language
Encyclopedia
Lese, or occasionally Lissi, also known as Efe, is a Central Sudanic language
of northeastern Congo. The Lese people live in association with the Efé Pygmies, and share one language.
Although Efe is given a separate ISO code, Bahuchet (2006) notes that it is not even a distinct dialect, though there is dialectical variation in the language of the Lese (Dese, Karo).
