Roger Blench: Niger-Congo; language data

Roger Blench: Niger-Congo materials

Niger-Congo is the largest language phylum in the world, covering most of Africa. Its internal subdivisions are not well understood, although some defined families, such as Mande, are clearly marked. The membership of Dogon is at best uncertain, and there are languages, such as Pre, which do not seem to clearly fit anywhere. The data is given by usually accepted subgroups, but these may change in the future, especially ill-founded groupings such as Kwa. Atlantic, which includes Fulfulde is also a highly problematic branch.
