Mbam languages


The Mbam languages are a group of erstwhile zone-A Bantu languages which some lexicostatistical studies suggest are not actually Bantu, but related Southern Bantoid languages. Janssens posits that they are all of Guthrie's zone A.60 languages, half of his A.40 languages, and perhaps Bube. Blench includes Jarawan in A.60, and keeps both in Bantu.
