Comments on the classification<\/h5>\n

We have based our classification on the work of Dimmendaal (2008) and Blench (2000).<\/p>\n

For long, these languages were part of the Niger-Congo languages but Oubanguian languages are now regarded as \u201cprobably constituting an independent linguistic group, which cannot or cannot anymore be linked to the Niger-Congo group, nor any other linguistic group\u201d (Dimmendaal, 2008).<\/p>\n

Are Oubanguian languages endangered?<\/h5>\n

This section will be developed subsequently.<\/p>\n
