Most of the Vengic languages would fit about equally well in southern China or central Africa:

Maybe this will live here now?
So! Whatic inherits the typical 'minor/major' verb contrast from Proto-Ziwanic, but the reduplication pattern, as usual for Ziwanic, is simplified: at an early stage, presumably before monosyllabization, the full reduplication characterizing the major stage was reduced to a C1V1- prefix. Then geminate syncope applies, creating an initial geminate, which is resolved in various ways in the different Whatic languages; in What proper, initial geminates simply ...
