Buja–Ngombe languages

The Buja–Ngombe languages are a group of Bantu languages reported to be a valid clade by Nurse & Philippson (2003). They are Buja (C.37), the Ngombe languages (C.41), and Tembo (C.46):

Budza–Tembo–Kunda–Gbuta–Babale, Ngombe (Doko), Bomboma, Bamwe, Dzando, Gendza, Kula
Buja–Ngombe
Linguistic classificationNiger–Congo
GlottologNone
ngir1250  (Ngiri Terrien)[1]
budj1234  (Budja)[2]
temb1272  (Tembo)[3]

Guthrie also lists two unclassified C.30 varieties, Doko and Londo (Bolondo). Ethnologue lists the first as a dialect of Ngombe, and says that the latter is most similar to Tembo, so both may belong here. Glottolog lists Bwela as closest to Tembo as well.

gollark: Or bugfixes internally.
gollark: What about security updates?
gollark: Someone would still have to go to every workspace and go "update-util" *every time* a dependency updates.
gollark: That's still quite problematic.
gollark: Ale32bit made cget, and that has important packages like potatOS, but it's not very widely adopted and I'm not sure if it handles dependencies well.
