Buja–Ngombe languages

Buja–Ngombe
Linguistic classification: Niger–Congo
Subdivisions:

The Buja–Ngombe languages are a group of Bantu languages reported to be a valid clade by Nurse & Philippson (2003). They are Buja (C.37), the Ngombe languages (C.41), and Tembo (C.46):

Budza, Tembo (Kunda, Gbuta, Babale), Ngombe (Doko), Bomboma, Bamwe, Dzando, Gendza, Kula

Guthrie also lists two unclassified C.30 varieties, Doko and Londo (Bolondo). Ethnologue lists the first as a dialect of Ngombe, and says that the latter is most similar to Tembo, so both may belong here.
