Budza or Buja (Embudja, Limbudza) is a Bantu language of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
There are several neighboring minor languages which Maho (2009) lists as closely related: C371 Tembo (Motembo – distinguish Kitembo), C372 Kunda, C373 Gbuta (Egbuta), and C374 Babale. Only Tembo, with 5,000 speakers, has been assigned an ISO code.
