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):{{cite book |editor1-last=Nurse |editor1-first=Derek |editor2-last=Philippson |editor2-first=Gérard |title=The Bantu languages |date=2003 |publisher=Routledge |location=London |isbn=9780700711345}}
