Volta–Congo languages

Volta–Congo is a major branch of the Atlantic–Congo family. It includes all Atlantic-Congo except the families of the erstwhile Atlantic and Kordofanian branches and possibly Senufo.

In the infobox at the right, the languages which appear to be the most divergent (including the dubious Senufo) are placed at the top, whereas those closer to the core (the similar "Benue–Kwa" branches of Kwa, Volta–Niger and Benue–Congo) are near the bottom. If the Kwa or Savannas branches prove to be invalid, the tree will be even more crowded.
