The Sabaki languages of Comoros
View through CrossRef
In this article we try to determine the internal and external cladistics of the four Bantu varieties in the Comoros archipelago. With internal cladistics we mean their mutual classification. Conventionally they are divided into two groups: the Eastern group composed of Shindzwani and Shimaore and the Western group composed of Shimwali and Shingazidja, our results point to a rather different classification.With external cladistics we mean the phylogenetic position of the Comorian languages with respect to the Sabaki and Makhuwa languages spoken along the South-Eastern coast of Africa. During the years consensus has been reached that Comorian Bantu languages belong to the Sabaki group, but they are different from Swahili, our findings confirm this conclusion.
