Sabi languages
Bantu language family From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remove ads
The Sabi languages are a group of Bantu languages established by Christine Ahmed.[1] They constitute much of Guthrie's Zone M. The languages, or clusters, along with their Guthrie identifications, are:
Bwile may belong here as well, as it is part of Guthrie's M40 group and Nurse (2003) does not note it as an exception, but it is not close to other languages and was not addressed by Ahmed. Similarly, although Spier (2020) focuses specifically on Aushi and includes an appendix comparing Sabi linguistic varieties, Bwile remains unaddressed due to limited available data.[2]
Nurse and Philippson[3] suspect that the Botatwe languages may be related.
