Ndai language

Mbum language of northern Cameroon From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ndai, also known as Galke or Pormi, is a nearly extinct Mbum language of northern Cameroon. There are only about a few speakers remaining in the vicinity of Tcholliré (Tcholliré commune, Mayo-Rey department, Northern Region).[2] The name of the language supposedly comes from the language's word for 'cow'. The language is spoken to a degree of fluency by five speakers, all over the age of 50, and two others are alleged to hold a conversational-level knowledge of the language.[3]
