Boma-Dzing languages

African Language Families

The Boma-Dzing languages are a clade of Bantu languages coded Zone B.80 in Guthrie's classification, comprising a Boma branch (Boma, Mpe and Nunu) and a Ding branch (Ding, Ngul, Lwel, Mpiin, West Ngongo, Nzadi and Tsong). The linguists Derek Nurse and Gerard Philippson find that while some of Guthrie's original B.80 varieties actually belong with the neighboring Teke or Yaka languages, the remainder form a valid node.
