The Teke languages are a group of Bantu languages spoken by the Teke people in the western Congo and in Gabon. They are coded Zone B.70 in Guthrie's classification. According to Nurse & Philippson (2003), the Teke languages apart from West Teke form a valid node with Tende (part of B.80):
Tsege Teghe (Tɛgɛ, North Teke) Ngungwel (Ngungulu, NE Teke) – Central Teke (Njyunjyu/Ndzindziu, Boo/Boma/Eboo) Tio (Bali) – East Teke (Mosieno, Ng'ee/Ŋee) Kukwa (Kukuya, South Teke) Fuumu (South Teke) – Wuumu (Wumbu) Tiene (B.80) Mfinu (B.80) Mpuono (B.80)
Pacchiarotti et al. (2019) retain West Teke and include additional B.80 languages:Sara Pacchiarotti, Natalia Chousou-Polydouri & Koen Bostoen (2019) 'Untangling the West-Coastal Bantu mess: identification, geography and phylogeny of the Bantu B50–80 languages.'
