(10) /20/

1.1 The seven families of languages that all indigenous languages of Africa fall under, as
stated by Wemer (1930) and Phillippson (2003), are:

1. Afro-Asiatic
2. Nilo-Saharan
3. Niger-Congo
4. Khoisan
5. Austronesian
6. Indo-European
7. Creole

1.2 Synchronic comparison involves analyzing the same word across different languages at a
specific point in time. Here's an example using the word "water" in three indigenous
languages of South Africa:

 Zulu: "amanzi"
 Xhosa: "amanzi"
 Sotho: "metsi"

In this case, we can see that while Zulu and Xhosa share the word "amanzi" for "water,"
Sotho uses "metsi." This demonstrates synchronic comparison by showing both similarities
and differences in word usage among related languages.

1.3 Guthrie (1949) outlined certain features that a language must display to be considered
part of the Bantu language family. These features include:

 Noun class systems with prefixes
 Verb morphology indicating tense, aspect, and mood
 Extensive use of prefixes and suffixes for various grammatical functions
 Systematic vowel harmony

An example from Zulu, a Bantu language, can illustrate these features:

 Noun class system: "umfana" (boy, singular), "abantwana" (children, plural)
 Verb morphology: "ubonisa" (to show), "ubonisa" (he/she shows), "ubonisile" (he/she
showed)
