It is unknown if this language is still existent. In 1986 four surviving speakers were identified, although only one (a man in his seventies) spoke the language fluently.<br /> Bikya is probably best known for the work of English linguist Dr. David Dalby who filmed an 87-year-old African woman who spoke Bikya as her native tongue. All records indicate that she was the last fluent speaker of the tongue. The archival footage was shot to preserve the language before it was lost forever.&lt;i&gt;[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=869203 ..... full article at Wikipedia]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Location of Bikya language Speakers&lt;/h2&gt;<br /> http://llmap.org/languages/byb/static_map.png?width=400&amp;height=300&amp;kilroywashere=.png<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td valign=top align=right&gt; <br /> &lt;table valign=top&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;table&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;h2&gt;Overview&lt;/h2&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;b&gt;Main Country: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;[http://www.freebase.com/view/en/cameroon Cameroon]&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;b&gt;Spoken In: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Regions: &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;[http:///www.freebase.com/view/en/africa Africa] <br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;b&gt;ISO 639-3 Code: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;byb&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;/table&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Classification Taxonomy&lt;/h2&gt;<br /> [[All Languages]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;[[Niger-Congo Group]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;[[Atlantic-Congo Group]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;[[Volta-Congo Group]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;[[Benue-Congo Group]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;[[Bantoid Group]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;[[Southern Bantoid Group]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;[[Benue-Congo Bantoid Southern Unclassified Southern Group]]<br /> <br /> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;[[Bikya language]]&lt;/b&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;<br /> <br /> __NOTOC__</div>
