English: The Songye people — an ethnic group of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire), living in the Lomami Province along both sides of the Lualaba River.

In 1985 it was estimated that the Songye numbered between 150,000 and 217,000. The Songye are divided into sub-groupings that are under the governorship of a central chief known as the Yakitenge. More local governance is in the hands of chiefs known as Sultani Ya Muti.
Their economy is based on agriculture and pastoralism.
