Nyasa languages
The Nyasa languages are an apparently valid genealogical group of Bantu languages. With the reassignment of a couple of Guthrie Zone N languages to other branches, Nyasa is essentially synonymous with Zone N. The languages and their Guthrie identifications are:
- Tumbuka
- Tonga language
- Chewa
- Sena group : Nsenga, Kunda-Nyungwe, Sena
The poorly known Mwera language spoken at Mbamba Bay on the east side of Lake Malawi is classified as N201 and presumably belongs here as well.
