Rimba (Irimba) is the speech variety of the Babongo-Rimba pygmies of Gabon. Generally considered a dialect of Punu, it may preserve a core of non-Bantu vocabulary, and so to be conservative should be considered unclassified.{{Cite web|url=http://www.ddl.ish-lyon.cnrs.fr/equipes/index.asp?Langue=EN&Equipe=50&Page=Themes|title=DDL : CLHASS - Themes and actions|website=www.ddl.ish-lyon.cnrs.fr|access-date=2017-01-22}}
