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):[1]

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)
