The Bung language is a nearly extinct language of Cameroon spoken by 3 people (in 1995) at the village of Boung on the Adamawa Plateau. A wordlist collected for it shows its strongest resemblance to be with the Ndung dialect of Mambiloid language Kwanja, although that may simply be because this has become the village's dominant language. It also has words in common with other Mambiloid languages such as Tep, Somyev, and Vute, while a number of words' origins remain unclear (possibly Adamawan). For lack of data, it is not definitively classified.<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=1187322 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr> | The Bung language is a nearly extinct language of Cameroon spoken by 3 people (in 1995) at the village of Boung on the Adamawa Plateau.
