This paper investigates the tonal process of high tone spread (HTS) in the Sotho languages, which form a subfamily of Southern African Bantu languages. It presents the dialectal variation, by means of data both from the literature and from the author's own elicitation work, and proposes an analysis within the theory of Optimality Theory that accounts for the variation found.
