[2] These were assigned letters A-S and divided into decades (groups A10, A20, etc.); individual languages were assigned unit numbers (A11, A12, etc.) and dialects were further divided (A11a, A11b, etc.). This encoding system has become the standard for identifying Bantu languages. It was the only practical way to distinguish many ambiguously named languages before the introduction of ISO 639-3 coding, and it continues to be widely used. Only Guthrie's Zone S is considered (sometimes) to be a genealogical group. Since guthrie's time, a zone J (made of languages previously classified in groups D and E) has been created as another possible genealogical group bordering the Great Lakes. The list is first summarized, with links to articles about accepted groups of Bantu language (bold decade headlines). Then the complete 1948[3] list, updated by Guthrie in 1971 and by J. F. Maho in 2009. Summary The list below reflects Guthrie as updated by Maho (2009). Not included in details is the northeastern Bantu language characterized by Dahl's Law, which is believed to be a genealogical group, cuts across the Guthrie system and is covered in northeastern Bantu. Other groups with dedicated articles, such as Southern Bantu (Zone S) are also only summarized here, so that the original listing is only a summary and an index for other articles. Note that Ethnologue made several changes to Guthrie in an attempt to make the classification more historically correct. But the changes are inconsistent, and Ethnologue has not been followed here, although it is publicly available online. Thus, a code can mean different things depending on whether Guthrie or SIL is being followed. (See the link below for the SIL code assignments.) The updates in Maho (2009), on the other hand, are designed to be compatible with the original values of the codes. Bantu has long been divided into Northwest Bantu (Forest Bantu) and Central Bantu (Savanna Bantu) branches based on tone patterns, but there is little agreement on which Guthrie zones (or which parts of zones) should be in either dichotomy are questionable and they have not been followed here. Accepted genealogical groups within Guthrie zones are bold. Zone A S Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, N Gabon A10 Lundu-Balong : Oroko (probably one of the Sawabantu languages); other languages except A15 Manenguba (i.e. Bonkeng, Nkongho, may be Sawabantu as well. A15 Manenguba (Ngoe) language A20-30 Sawabantu language; Bube (in Mbam?) A40a (reduced) Basaa language A50 Bafia language A60 +40b Mbam language (Jarawan added after Guthrie) A70 Beti language A80-90 Makaa-Njem language Zone A is sometimes considered Forest Bantu. Guthrie's A60 and part of his A40 have been removed for the Southern Bantoid Mbam language. Sawabantu may include some of the A10 languages apart from Manenguba, while Bube can be homed in Mbam. Southern Bantoid Jarawan was assigned to Zone A by Gerhardt (1982) and Blench (ms 2006, 2011), specifically for the A60, in Mbam. According to several researchers, including Blench, there can be no coherent concept bantu as long as many of zone A and perhaps Zone B languages are included. Zone B S Gabon, W Congo, W DR-Congo B20 Kele language (? Seki) B10-30 Tsogo language (? Myene) B40 (with some H10) Sira language B50 Nzebi language B60 Mbete language B70 (with some B80) Teke language B80 (reduced) Boma-Dzing language (Tsong/Songo?) Zone B is sometimes considered Forest Bantu. B10-30 can belong together as Kele-Tsogo, B40 with Kongo-Yaka (H) and B50-70 with H24 Songo as Teke-Mbede. Zone C NE DR-Congo, N Congo C10 (with some C30) Ngondi-Ngiri language C20 Mboshi language C30 (with Mongo, etc.) Bangi-Ntomba language (Lingala et al.) C37+41 Buja-Ngombe language C42 Bwela C40a Bati-Angba language (Bwa) C50-60 Soko language C70 Tetela language C80 Bushoong language Zone C is sometimes considered Forest Bantu, sometimes Savanna Bantu. There are proposals for three major clades, Mboshi-Buja covers C10-20 and C37+41, and Bangi-Tetela covers the C30 with C50-80 (Motingea 1996), and C40a along with the D20-30 in Boan. Zone D NE DR-Congo D10 Mbole-Enya language (? Lengola) D20a Lega-Binja language D20-30 Komo-Bira language, (with C40a) Boan D28 Holoholo (maybe in NE Bantu) D30 (unclassified): Guru (Boguru), Ngbinda, Kare (Kari), Nyanga-li (Gbati-ri) D33 Nyali language (Beeke? Ngbee?, +Bodo?) D43-55 Nyanga-Buyi language D54 Bembe (with Lega?) D10, D30, and some of the D20 and D40 are sometimes considered Forest Bantu, the other Savanna Bantu. Most of the D40-60 has been moved to the Great Lakes Bantu language. Lengola, Bodo and Nyali can belong together as Lebonya, and Beeke in Boan. Zone E Kenya, apart from Swahili Language Zone E has been redistributed: E10-E40 to the Great Lakes Bantu language; E50 Kikuyu-Kamba (Central Kenya Bantu) and E60 Chaga-Taita to northeastern Bantu; E70 Nyika to northeastern Bantu, mostly in Sabaki. Zone F W & C Tanzania. F10 Tongwe-Bende F30 (reduced) Mbugwe-Rangi language? Isanzu Much of the F20 and F30, including the great language of Sukuma, have been reclassified as northeast Bantu, with Bungu to Rukwa and Sumbwa as great lakes. However, Mbugwe-Rangi forms a valid node by Isanzu is sometimes classified as F30, as a number of Nilamba, and sometimes believed to be a remnant of the Bantu language spoken in the area before the F-zone language arrived. Zone G E Tanzania, Comoros G50 (with Mbunga) Kilombero Language Zone G have been reclassified, the G60 Bene-Kinga to northeastern Bantu, and the other branches more specifically for the Northeast Coast Bantu language. Zone H NW Angola, W Congo H10 (reduced) Kongo language H20 Kimbundu language (? Songo) H30-40 (with Yanzi) Yaka language H10 and H40 are sometimes considered Forest Bantu, the other Savanna Bantu. H10 Kunyi, Suundi and Vili have been split between B40 and L10. The H40 is divided between H30 and L10. Kongo-Yaka can form a family, perhaps with the B40 Sira. Zone J Uganda, Rwanda-Burundi, near lakes Kivu & Victoria J Great Lakes (part of northeast Bantu) Zone K E Angola, W Zambia K10 Chokwe-Luchazi language K31 Luyana K30 Kavango language? K43 Mbukushu K20 Lozi is now classified as Southern Bantu. Some K30 languages have been reclassified as Kavango, but Luyana is an independent lineage. K40 Subiya-Totela has been reclassified as Botatwe, except for Mbukushu, which appears to be an independent lineage. Zone L S DR-Congo, C Zambia L10 (with some H) Pende language L20-40 +L60 Luba languages (Luluwa) L50 Lunda language L20 Songe (except maybe Lwalu), L30 Luba, L40 Kaonde, and L60 Nkoya have been grouped as Luban. Zone M E Zambia, SE DR-Congo M10-30 (with Bungu) Rukwa language M40-50 (with Senga) Sabi language M60 (with K40 Subia) Botatwe language Sabi-Bobatwe may be related. Zone N Malawi and the surrounding areas, C Mozambique N20-40 Nyasa language N10 Manda has been classified as Rufiji-Ruvuma, and N20 Tumbuka 'dialect' Senga as Sabi. Zone P NE Mozambique, SE Tanzania P10 Matuumbi and P20 Yao have been classified as Rufiji-Ruvuma, P15 Mbunga as Kilombero, P30 Makhuwa as Southern Bantu. Zone R SW Angola, N Namibia, N Botswana R11 Umbundu (South Mbundu) R10-30 Southwest Bantu language R40 Yeyi R20 Ovambo, R30 Herero, and R10 apart from Umbundu have been grouped together as Southwest Bantu. Yeyi forms his own lineage. Zone S South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, S. Mozambique. S10 Shona language S20-60 (with P30) Southern Bantu language Full list (1948/2009) The following is the original list from Guthrie (1948), with all numerical tasks as updated by Guthrie himself (1971) and JF Maho (2009). The groups are geographical and do not necessarily imply a link between the languages in them. Words in parentheses are added to ambiguity. Figures in brackets are changes made to Maho (2009); language in parentheses was added by Maho (2009). Languages of the proposed Zone J are covered by zones D and E.

    Here Referred to As Class 18A (See Hyman 1980:187)

    WS1 Remarks on the nasal classes in Mungbam and Naki Mungbam and Naki are two non-Grassfields Bantoid languages spoken along the northwest frontier of the Grassfields area to the north of the Ring languages. Until recently, they were poorly described, but new data reveals them to show significant nasal noun class patterns, some of which do not appear to have been previously noted for Bantoid. The key patterns are: 1. Like many other languages of their region (see Good et al. 2011), they make productive use of a mysterious diminutive plural prefix with a form like mu-, with associated concords in m, here referred to as Class 18a (see Hyman 1980:187). 2. The five dialects of Mungbam show a level of variation in their nasal classes that one might normally expect of distinct languages. a. Two dialects show no evidence for nasals in Class 6. Two other dialects, Munken and Ngun, show a Class 6 prefix on nouns of form a- but nasal concords. In Munken Class 6, this nasal is n, clearly distinct from an m associated with 6a; in Ngun, both 6 and 6a are associated with m concords. The Abar dialect shows a different pattern, with Class 6 nasal concords in m and nasal prefixes on some Class 6 nouns. b. The Abar, Biya, and Ngun dialects show a Class 18a prefix with form mN-, rather than the more regionally common mu-. This reduction is presumably connected to perseveratory nasalization attested throughout the languages of the region with a diachronic pathway along the lines of mu- > mũ- > mN- perhaps providing a partial example for the development of Bantu Class 9/10.

    Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A

    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

First, the Plymouth Brethren, a rebellious evangelical Christian denomination that formed in the 1800’s. Second, the founding physician of Kalene Mission Hospital, Dr. Walter Fisher, a surgeon who used unprecedented and revolutionary social tactics to incorporate local culture into his medical and personal life. Lastly, the cultural and linguistic aspects of the Lunda-Ndembu tribe3 that allowed for the assimilation of Lunda culture and beliefs into the lives and medical practices of the Brethren.

Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Inger S. B. Brodey Todd Ramón Ochoa Marsha S. Collins Tanya L. Shields Madeline G. Levine © 2016 Donato Fhunsu ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Donato Fhunsu: The Kongo Rule: The Palo Monte Mayombe Wisdom Society (Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe) A Book by Lydia Cabrera An English Translation from the Spanish (Under the direction of Inger S. B. Brodey and Todd Ramón Ochoa) This dissertation is a critical analysis and annotated translation, from Spanish into English, of the book Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe, by the Cuban anthropologist, artist, and writer Lydia Cabrera (1899-1991). Cabrera’s text is a hybrid ethnographic book of religion, slave narratives (oral history), and folklore (songs, poetry) that she devoted to a group of Afro-Cubans known as “los Congos de Cuba,” descendants of the Africans who were brought to the Caribbean island of Cuba during the trans-Atlantic Ocean African slave trade from the former Kongo Kingdom, which occupied the present-day southwestern part of Congo-Kinshasa, Congo-Brazzaville, Cabinda, and northern Angola. The Kongo Kingdom had formal contact with Christianity through the Kingdom of Portugal as early as the 1490s.

    Essays on Cultural and Institutional Dynamics in Economic Development Using Spatial Analysis

    Essays on Cultural and Institutional Dynamics in Economic Development Using Spatial Analysis by Timothy Birabi Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Adam Smith Business School College of Social Sciences University of Glasgow April 2016 ©Timothy Birabi i Abstract This thesis seeks to research patterns of economic growth and development from a number of perspectives often resonated in the growth literature. By addressing themes about history, geography, institutions and culture the thesis is able to bring to bear a wide range of inter-related literatures and methodologies within a single content. Additionally, by targeting different administrative levels in its research design and approach, this thesis is also able to provide a comprehensive treatment of the economic growth dilemma from both cross- national and sub-national perspectives. The three chapters herein discuss economic development from two broad dimensions. The first of these chapters takes on the economic growth inquiry by attempting to incorporate cultural geography within a cross-country formal spatial econometric growth framework. By introducing the global cultural dynamics of languages and ethnic groups as spatial network mechanisms, this chapter is able to distinguish economic growth effects accruing from own-country productive efforts from those accruing from interconnections within a global productive network chain. From this, discussions and deductions about the implications for both developed and developing countries are made as regards potentials for gains and losses from such types and levels of productive integration. The second and third chapters take a different spin to the economic development inquiry. They both focus on economic activity in Africa, tackling the relevant issues from a geo-intersected dimension involving historic regional tribal homelands and modern national and subnational administrative territories.

    Language Information LANGUAGE LINE. The Court strongly prefers to use live interpreters in the courtrooms whenever possible. However, when the Court can’t find live interpreters, we sometimes use Language Line, a national telephone service supplying interpreters for most languages on the planet almost immediately. The number for that service is 1-800-874-9426. Contact Circuit Administration at 605-367-5920 for the Court’s account number and authorization codes. AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE/DEAF INTERPRETATION Minnehaha County in the 2nd Judicial Circuit uses a combination of local, highly credentialed ASL/Deaf interpretation providers including Communication Services for the Deaf (CSD), Interpreter Services Inc. (ISI), and highly qualified freelancers for the courts in Sioux Falls, Minnehaha County, and Canton, Lincoln County. We are also happy to make court video units available to any other courts to access these interpreters from Sioux Falls (although many providers have their own video units now). The State of South Dakota has also adopted certification requirements for ASL/deaf interpretation “in a legal setting” in 2006. The following link published by the State Department of Human Services/ Division of Rehabilitative Services lists all the certified interpreters in South Dakota and their certification levels, and provides a lot of other information on deaf interpretation requirements and services in South Dakota. DHS Deaf Services AFRICAN DIALECTS A number of the residents of the 2nd Judicial Circuit speak relatively obscure African dialects. For court staff, attorneys, and the public, this list may be of some assistance in confirming the spelling and country of origin of some of those rare African dialects.
