The Bullom So language, also called Mmani or Mandingi, is an endangered language spoken near the border between Guinea and Sierra Leone. It belongs to the Atlantic branch of the Niger-Congo language family and is particularly closely related to the Bom language. The people have intermarried with Temne and Susu speakers. As the few remaining speakers of Bullom So are all over 60, the language is considered moribund.
