As part of the major initiative of the Centre for Advanced Studies of African Society (CASAS), Cape Town, towards the harmonization and standardization of African languages across the continent, linguists from Universities in South Africa, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Zambia have come up with a single spelling system for cross-border languages found in these countries. Languages such as ciNyanja, ciCewa, ciNsenga, ciNgoni, ciNsenga, eLomwe, eMakhuwa, ciYao, ciTumbuka, ciSenga, iciBemba, kiKaonde, ciLunda and ciLuvale, and related dialects will now have a single spelling system, rather than three or more spelling systems within the same language, or even more systems across related Bantu languages.
