Teke–Mbede languages

Teke–Mbere is a proposed intermediate group of Bantu languages, coded Zone B.50–80 in Guthrie's classification, along with the erstwhile Mbundu language Songo. According to Nurse & Philippson (2003), they are:

• Nzebi (B.50)
• Mbete (B.60)
• Teke (B.70–80)
• Songo (H.20)

Teke–Mbere
Linguistic classification	Niger–Congo? Atlantic–Congo Benue–Congo Southern Bantoid Bantu (Zone B) Teke–Mbere

Language codes

Ethnologue suggests that the unclassified Songo "dialect" of Yansi (B.80) may be the same as the Songo here.
