The Northeast Bantu languages are a group of Bantu languages of East African. In Guthrie's geographic classification, they fall within Bantu zones E50 plus E46 (Sonjo), E60 plus E74a (Taita), F21–22, J, G60, plus Northeast Coast Bantu (of zones E & G).〔Derek Nurse, 2003, ''The Bantu Languages''〕 Some of these languages (F21, most of E50, and some of J) share a phonological innovation called Dahl's Law that is unlikely to be borrowed as a productive process, though individual words reflecting Dahl's Law have been borrowed into neighboring languages. The languages, or clusters, are: *Kikuyu–Kamba Thagiicu (primarily E50): * *Sonjo (E40) * *Cuka * *Meru (incl. Tharaka, Mwimbi-Muthambi) * *South * * *Kamba, Daisu * * *Gikuyu, Embu *Chaga–Taita * *Taita (Dawida; E70) – Sagalla * *Chaga languages (E60) *Northeast Coast Bantu: Swahili, ''etc.'' *Takama: Sukuma–Nyamwezi, Kimbu (F20), Iramba–Isanzu, Nyaturu (Rimi) (F30), ?Holoholo–Tumbwe–Lumbwe (D20) *Great Lakes Bantu (zone J): Rwanda-Rundi, Ganda, ''etc.'' *Bena–Kinga (G60): Sangu, Hehe, Bena, Pangwa, Kinga, Wanji, Kisi, ?Manda (N10) ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Northeast Bantu languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
