QUESTION 1: SOCIO-HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION TO AFRICAN LANGUAGES

‘Language Family’

Why These Languages are Classified as a ‘Language Family’: These languages are classified
as a language family primarily because they share a common ancestry and linguistic features.
They belong to the Bantu language family, a subset of the larger Niger-Congo language family.
The classification as a ‘language family’ is based on several factors:
• Historical Origins: These languages have evolved from a common proto-language, often
referred to as Proto-Bantu, which spread across sub-Saharan Africa over millennia.
• Linguistic Features: They share common phonetic, grammatical, and lexical
characteristics. For instance, the noun class system, which categorizes nouns into
different classes based on prefixes, is a hallmark of Bantu languages.
