“The affinity of the Kafir tribes ... including the Kafirs proper and
the people of Congo, is based upon the various idioms spoken by them,
the direct representatives of a common, but now extinct, mother tongue.
This aggregate of languages is now conveniently known as ... the Bantu
linguistic system.” —K. Johnston: Africa, p. 447.
