The Tsogo languages are a clade of Bantu languages coded Zone B.30 in Guthrie's classification. According to Nurse & Philippson (2003),[1] the languages form a valid node. They are:
Tsogo (Getsogo), Himba (Simba), Pinzi , Vove , Kande
Nurse & Philippson also include (B.10) Myene , following Piron (1997), who makes Tsogo and Myene together a divergent branch of Bantu. Maho adds Viya (Eviya) and Bongwe .
