Language codes

The Kele languages are a clade of Bantu languages coded Zone B.20 in Guthrie's classification. According to Nurse & Philippson (2003), the languages form a valid node. They are:

Lengue, Ndasa, Sigu (Sighu), Kele (Dikele), Ngom, Mbangwe, Wumbvu, Kota, Shake (Sake), Mahongwe.

In addition, Seki (Sheke) was assigned to (B.20), but its relatedness is dubious.
