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.

dbpprop:abstract
  • 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. For lack of data, it is not definitively classified.
  • Bung on Kamerunissa puhuttava lähes hävinnyt kieli. Sillä on jäljellä enää enintään kolme puhujaa. Kielen sanojen perusteella bung on läheistä sukua kwanjan kielen kanssa. Se saattaa tosin johtua myös siitä, että kwanjasta on tullut johtava kieli alueella, jolla bungia vielä puhutaan. Bung on isolaattikieli.
