Proto-Bantu *k and *g in the Mbam languages: A problem in classification
Language in Africa, 2022The Bantu Mbam languages of Cameroun appear at first glance as a very coherent unit, in spite of having been put by Guthrie (1953) in two different groups (A40 and A60).

Et si le proto-bantu était aussi une langue … avec ses contraintes et ses déséquilibres
Diachronica, 2008This article aims to define the phonological structure of Proto-Bantu lexical units on the basis of frequencies of reconstructed consonant co-occurrences.
