Sira languages
The Shira languages are a clade of Bantu languages coded Zone B.40 in Guthrie's classification. According to Nurse & Philippson (2003), together with a couple languages from H10, they form a valid node. They are:
| Shira | |
|---|---|
| Linguistic classification | Niger–Congo |
| Glottolog | sira1268 (Sira (B.40))[1] |
Maho (2009) adds Ngubi.
In addition, the unclassified Pygmy language Rimba (Irimba) is generally assumed to be a dialect of Punu.
