The purpose of this paper is to critically evaluate, generally, the classification of languages in Africa. The focus of the paper is the classification of languages in Zambia, but it also draws examples from Malawi, particularly regarding Chinyanja and Chitumbuka. The gist of the paper is to argue that the classifications of languages are inadequate because they do not show the relative relationship or affinity between the languages.
