Niger-Congo languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Niger-Congo languages constitute one of the world's major language families, and Africa 's largest in terms of geographical area, number of speakers, and number of distinct languages. The Laal, Mpre, and Jalaa languages are often linked with Niger-Congo, but have yet to be conclusively classified.

Emory University: Linguistic Anthropology: Bemba A Linguistic Profile The Bemba people in Zambia originated from the Kola region in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC, formerly Zaire), and are an offshoot of the ancient Luba empire.

HRELP - Birgit Hellwig She has been working on Chadic languages since 1998; her MA thesis focused on language contact between Chadic and Benue Congo languages; and her PhD thesis investigated in detail the grammatical, semantic and pragmatic aspects of how postural information is coded in one Chadic language (Goemai). Her main research interests lie in lexical semantics, in the relationship between language and cognition, and in various aspects of language documentation, in particular: field methodology, the integration of semantics into grammar writing, and in the technological side of documentation. She is currently writing a reference grammar and dictionary of that language, and compiling an annotated text corpus. www.hrelp.org /aboutus/staff/index.php?cd=bh   (716 words)

ISCA Paper Together with several neighbouring languages, it is classified as Mambiloid and therefore part of the North Bantoid branch of Bantoid (Blench 1993). What might once have been seen as two different languages, each with its own inherent dialect variation, then, came to be regarded as two dialect clusters of one language through a shift of perceived ethnic identity. There is yet an additional reason for considering alternatives to the traditional view of language development as being merely the break-up of a parent language. lucy.ukc.ac.uk /dz/connell/roots/roots.html   (716 words)
