Bantu: Distribution of Bantu Languages (Meinhof and Warmelo)
Distribution of Bantu Languages
Source: Meinhof, Carl and N.J van Warmelo. 1932. Introduction to the Phonology of Bantu Languages. Berlin: The International Institute of African Languages and Cultures.
Map Description:
This map illustrates the distribution of Bantu languages in Central and South Africa in the 1930s. According to the authors, the following languages are not Bantu languages: Kongo, Bushman, Nama, Korana, Pedi, Galla, Swahili (Mombasa), Mbugu, Swahili (lingua franca of East Africa) and Swahili (Zanzibar). However, the statement that Kongo, Pedi and Swahili are not Bantu languages go against current scholarly consensus.

Map Description:
This map displays the important groups and locations in southern Africa from 1725-1775, including European colonies and African empires. At this time, the European slave trade was in full swing. Some African groups still resisted European colonization, and it was not long after this period that the first successful slave rebellion occurred in what is now Haiti, resulting in the formation of that country.
