dbpprop:abstract
  • The Beboid languages are Southern Bantoid spoken principally in southwest Cameroon, although two languages are also spoken over the border in Nigeria. Previous research includes a study of noun classes in Beboid languages by Jean-Marie Hombert (1980), Larry Hyman (1980, 1981), a dissertation by Richards (1991) concerning the phonology of three eastern Beboid languages, Lux (2003) a Noni lexicon and Cox (2005) a phonology of Kemezung. SIL International survey reports have provided more detail on Eastern and Western Beboid (Brye & Brye 2002, 2004; Hamm et al. 2002) and Hamm (2002) is a brief overview of the group as a whole. Despite the confident division into Eastern and Western Beboid espoused since Hombert (1980) it is not easy to find shared innovations that define these groups.
  • Die Mbam-Sprachen (kurz Mbam) bilden eine Untereinheit des südlichen Bantoid, eines Zweiges der Benue-Kongo-Sprachen, die ihrerseits zum Niger-Kongo gehören. Die etwa 15 Mbam-Sprachen werden von rund 120.0000 Menschen in West-Kamerun (Zentralprovinz, Mbam-Division) gesprochen. Die beiden bedeutendsten Mbam-Sprachen sind Nugunu (oder Yambasa) mit 35.000 Sprechern und Tuki (oder Sanaga) mit 25.000 Sprechern.
