The Botatwe languages are a group of Bantu languages established by Christine Ahmed (1995). They are Guthrie group M.60 (Lenje–Tonga) plus some of the Subia languages (K.40):
- Tonga (incl. Dombe, Sala, Kafue Twa)
- Ila (Lundwe)
- Soli
- Lenje (incl. Lukanga Twa)
- Subia (K40): Fwe (Sifwe), Kuhane (Subiya, Mbalang'we)
Poorly described Totela was not addressed directly, but is assumed to be Subia.
Nurse (2003) suspects that the Sabi languages may be related.
