  • "Geographically, Bantu languages are spoken in the southern half of Africa. Genetically, they form part of Benue-Congo, itself a part of the huge Niger-Congo phylum. The exact place of Bantu in this framework is controversial, and there is no comprehensive overview of Bantu. The purpose of this volume is to provide a set of descriptive and typological statements about Bantu, statements which are theoretically informed."
