About the Book
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. This volume provides a set of theoretically-informed descriptive and typological statements about Bantu.
