Most aspects of Tachoni tone are encountered in other Bantu languages, such as the two-way lexical opposition in root tone as well as rules ...

The phrasal tonology of Zinza can be described in terms of four major processes, namely deletion of H from phrase-medial inflected verbs, insertion of H on the first of two toneless words, leftward shift of word-final H tone, and rightward spreading of penultimate H tone in phrase-medial position.

Abstract Silozi is one of Zambia’s seven national languages, and is also spoken in parts of Botswana, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. At its heart the language can fairly be characterized as a “Shift and Double” one, where an underlying High tone shifts to the following TBU and then doubles onto the next one in defined prosodic domains.

‘Leftward ho!’ in Zulu tonology
South African Journal of African Languages, 1989Tonal rules that move a high tone from one tone-bearing unit to another are of two types: those that are immediately followed by the delinking of the high tone from the tone-bearing unit with which it was originally associated, and those where the high tone spreads to the next syllable while retaining its initial association, ending up as a doubly ...

Headed Spans and Bantu Tonology
2007McCarthy (2004) shows that OT-based theories of featural and tonal assimilation to date are inadequate for two reasons: (i) they fail to distinguish between candidates showing varying degrees of harmony; (ii) or, they achieve assimilation disingenously (i.e. via unattested repairs).

While closely related to Malawian Chichewa and Eastern ProvinceNyanja, Town Nyanja is shown to be critically different in several respects.
