| | Except with the Tsonga Classification Tsonga belongs to the Bantu branch of the Niger-Congo languages. | | | This was quickly challenged by Malcolm Guthrie Malcolm Guthrie (1903-1972), professor of Bantu languages, is known primarily for his classification of Bantu languages (Guthrie 1971). | | | He had analyzed and compared several hundred African languages and found that a group of languages spoken in Southeastern Nigeria were the most closely related to Bantu. |

| | Contemporary Review: Endangered languages - Lost worlds |
| | For there is no positive value at all in language loss as such: all the benefit seen as coming from widespread monolingualism could just as well be gained through adding a lingua franca but keeping the old languages. | | | The poignancy of these losses has never been to the fore in the minds of many speakers of widespread languages, when they hear that smaller languages are going out of use. | | | And perhaps, seeing both the trend of language loss and a possible escape-route, for the first time we might try to do something about it. |

| | The notion that we need an atlas of the world’s endangered languages is an attractive one; all too frequently we read about some threatened speech-form and have only the vaguest notion of where it is spoken. | | | The Africa-wide map has the rather surreal feature that the languages are not identified in the key, so you are simply presented with a forest of symbols. | | | For crucial languages spoken by small foraging groups, such as Hadza, Dahalo, Ongota, Laal and the Khoisan languages little more than sketches are available. |

| | Peter Ladefoged, a phonetician with a good record in recording endangered languages, famously remarked that he was not entitled to query the judgement of speakers of Dahalo, a rapidly dying Cushitic language, in choosing not to pass their language on to the next generation. | | | The first is a study of four different indigenous language communities where languages are being maintained and where language maintenance efforts are being undertaken. | | | One way to answer is to try to subvert the premiss: languages are many, and not all those that are endangered fit into this pattern. |
