	Bantoid languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In the classification of African languages, Bantoid is a branch of the Benue-Congo subfamily of the Niger-Congo phylum.
		The term 'Bantoid' was first used by Krause in 1895 for languages that showed resemblances in vocabulary to Bantu.
		Greenberg in his influential 1963 The Languages of Africa defined Bantoid as the group to which (Narrow) Bantu belongs together with its closest relatives; this is the sense in which the term is still used today.

	Mambila Fricative Vowels
		In Bantoid, at least some of the Grassfields Bantu languages are known to have friction somehow associated with vowels (Elias, Leroy and Voorhoeve, 1984; Fransen, 1995) while Kelly (1974) reports fricative (labiodentalized) vowels in Fang, a Narrow Bantu language spoken in Gabon and Southern Cameroon.
		His is the only study of these languages to provide instrumental evidence of the friction discussed (which didn't occur in all of the dialects looked at), with spectrograms showing clearly that this friction may occur throughout the duration of the nuclear portion of the syllable.
		Mambila comprises a cluster of dialects or languages straddling the Nigeria-Cameroon border.

	CBOLD NSF proposal excerpts 1994-1997
		The PB reconstructions pertain to what is known as "Narrow Bantu", with most of the well-known daughter languages belonging to the Kongo branch--only one of the eight Bantu subgroups proposed by Heine et al (1977).
		The 50+ languages that will be initially inputted will include languages from all parts of the Bantu zone, with special care taken that representative languages from within Guthrie's (1967/71) zones A, B and C (so-called "Northwest Bantu") are included.
		In terms of the data structures, the lexicon of each language will be represented as a distinct file; each lemma in the dictionary will be linked to the analytic "backbone" of the database, which is depicted for convenience in Figure 2 as being the reconstructions proposed by Guthrie (1967/71).

	THE INTEGRITY OF MAMBILOID
		The Mambiloid languages show a relatively large number of cognates, sufficient that even after obvious borrowings are eliminated they may be taken to be genetically related at a low level: i.e.
		An Adamawa element is identifiable in all languages (or divisions) in the group, though it is interesting to note that this is more readily observable in Mambila than in those languages with conceivably greater present-day contact with Adamawa, such as Vute and Nizaa.
		The Mambiloid languages generally exhibit a high degree of phonological similarity though, as with the Mambila cluster itself, it is difficult to identify phonological characteristics that define or are diagnostic of membership of the group.
