Abstract

This research paper deals with a dialectometrical analysis of group C20 languages. Data are driven from Akwa (C22), Likwala (C26) and Tohu. This work is carried out under Mous and Breedveld (1986) and Crowley (1995) framework. This study demonstrates that the three language varieties are dialects of the same language from group C20. The percentages of proximity among the three dialects (Tohu, Likwala and l’Akwa) are 69.83%, 66.23% 56.06% respectively. The intercomprehension among the three dialects does not matter.
