The Gbaya languages, also known as Gbaya-Manza-Ngbaka, are a family of perhaps a dozen languages spoken mainly in the western Central African Republic and across the border in Cameroon, with one language, Ngbaka, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and several small languages in the Republic of the Congo. Many go by the ethnic name Gbaya, though the largest, with over a million speakers, is called Ngbaka, a name it shares with the unrelated Ngbaka languages of the Ubangian family.
