Nyali languages
The Nyali languages are a clade of Bantu languages coded Zone D.33 in Guthrie's classification. They are:
Nyali | |
---|---|
Budu–Ndaka | |
Linguistic classification | Niger–Congo |
Glottolog | nyal1255[1] |
They might belong in with the Mbole–Enya languages, but the connection could be with Lengola, which constitutes the Lebonya proposal (Nurse 2003).
The Nyali languages were treated as a dialect cluster by Guthrie. Ethnologue notes that Mbo, Ndaka, Budu, Vanuma, and Nyali are quite close. However, Beeke and Ngbee are more distant; Ethnologue suggests Beeke is closer to Bali, and leaves extinct Ngbee unclassified within Bantu.

gollark: So it appears that the comments system is down because I recompiled my website with the new domain so the status/images links would be right, and forgot to stick in configuration for proxying to the comments backend onto the new domain. I have to deal with bizarre issues like this *constantly* just to keep my stupid projects in existence and available.
gollark: I can't tell.
gollark: Creature says lots of things like that, maybe ironically.
gollark: ... oh no, the comments system is down again.
