Yans (Yanzi) is a Bantu language spoken in the Democratic Republic of the Congo by the Bayanzi.
There are six language varieties Guthrie classified as Bantu B.85 (Yans):
According to Nurse (2003), most belong to the Yaka languages, but one or two are among the Boma–Dzing languages. Maho (2009) notes that the Tsong variety is the then-unclassified "Songo" language (ISO [soo]) of Ethnologue and is the one that does not belong with the rest. Glottolog likewise classifies "Nsong-Mpiin" [soo] apart from Yansi.
