Bafut language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bafut language is classed within the Mbam-Nkam section of the central branch of the Niger-Congo languages along with other nearby languages such as Bali Nyonga, Bamum and Pingin. Oral tradition traces dynastic origins to the Ndobo or Tikari areas. It is spoken by people of Bafut Subdivision, Tuba, in the division of Mezam and in the division of Metchum in Northwest Province, Cameroon.
The Bafut language was alphabetized by SIL International worker Joseph Mfonyam in 1982. Since then some literature has been translated into Bafut, most notably the New Testament in the year 2000.
