Proto-Bantu language
Proto-Bantu (also Common Bantu) is the reconstructed common ancestor of most Bantu languages.〔Erhet & Posnansky, eds. (1982), Newman (1995)〕 It is thought to have originally been spoken in West/Central Africa in the area of what is now Cameroon.〔Philip J. Adler, Randall L. Pouwels, ''World Civilizations: To 1700 Volume 1 of World Civilizations'', (Cengage Learning: 2007), p.169.〕 Approximately 3000–4000 years ago, it split off from other Niger-Congo languages when the Bantu people began their migration to the south and east.〔Newman (1995), Shillington (2005)〕
Proto-Bantu was spoken before the introduction of writing and is therefore not attested in any texts. Its words and pronunciation have been reconstructed by linguists.
==Phonology==
Proto-Bantu is generally reconstructed with a relatively small set of sounds, consisting of 11 consonants and 7 vowels.〔()〕
