Languages and Groups of the Central African Republic
There are more than 80 groups in the Central African Republic.
50% - Baya-Mandjia
40% - Banda - North and Central
7% - M'Baka - Southwestern corner
From Wikipedia:Sangho (link)
Sango (also spelt Sangho) is the primary language spoken in the Central African Republic: it has 5 million second-language speakers, but only 400,000 native speakers, mainly in the towns. Originally used by river traders, it is a vehicular language, based on the language of the Sango tribe, belonging to the Ngbandi language cluster (including Ngbandi and Yakoma), with many French words.
Sangho is a vehicular language, or lingua franca,
Being a vehicular language, Sango is considered unusually easy to learn; according to Samarin, "with application a student ought to be able to speak the language in about three months." However, to reach true fluency takes much longer, as with any language.

中非 Central African Republic 班吉 Bangui
The Chinese prefecture names are phonetic. Words like "basse" and "haut" are translated as "lower - 下" and "upper - 上" from the Chinese.
The word "Central African Republic" is translated as "Central - 中" "Africa - 非"
Phonetic Chinese names are formed mostly from a large group of individual words used universally in translating syllables of names around the world. The translations are more or less interesting. As Chinese people spend time living in and working in all the different places around the world that are new to China, eventually, deeper, more complicated, better names are evolved from that experience. For example, cities, which are long familiar to Chinese people, like Mumbai, Moscow, Rome, Cairo, and more recently Paris, London, New York and Honolulu, have names which don't necessarily use words from the long list of descriptive phonetic names.
The phonetic names are kind of nice. For example, Bangui - 班吉 - is literally "Team Luck", or "Bian Jie". This is a perfectly typical phonetic place name in Chinese.
