They include all of the important Bantu languages of South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, and Mozambique, with outliers such as Lozi in Zambia and Namibia, and Ngoni in Zambia, Tanzania and Malawi. LanguagesLanguage groups are followed by their code in the Guthrie classification.
Some classifications prior to Janson retained Shona as a coordinate branch, along with Nyasa, or excluded Makua. Writing SystemIn a addition to the Latin alphabet most commonly used to write these languages internationally, the Ditema tsa Dinoko system is also used. It is also known as the Isibheqe Sohlamvu writing system ("Bheqe Syllabary"), and is a featural writing system, similar in function to Hangul. It represents all the Southern Bantu or siNtu languages under a single orthography.[2] References1. ^Tore Janson (1991-92) "Southern Bantu and Makua", Sprache und Geschichte in Afrika (SUGIA) Vol. 12/13: 63-106, Rüdiger Köppe Verlag, Cologne {{Narrow Bantu languages}}{{Bantu-lang-stub}}2. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.endangeredalphabets.net/alphabets/ditema-tsa-dinoko/|title=Atlas of Endangered Alphabets: Indigenous and minority writing systems, and the people who are trying to save them.|language=en-US|access-date=2019-02-04}} 1 : Southern Bantu languages |
