This volume focuses on Bantu and the other Bantoid languages of southern Cameroon. This region served as the cradle of the Bantu Expansion, where the Bantu populations separated from the other Bantoid groups. As a result, there are important historical questions about linguistic relationships between Bantu and Bantoid. The chapters explore these questions through new approaches to language classification, verb morphology and tense-aspect marking.
