An Entity of Type: language, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

North Mofu is an Afro-Asiatic language spoken in northern Cameroon. Dialects are Douroun and Wazan. There is no specific glossonym (language name) covering the very close languages of the Douroum, Wazang and Douvangar massifs, nor is there a corresponding ethnonym; the speakers simply refer to themselves as "mountain people", specifying the massif when necessary. In fact, Mofu is not recognized by the speakers of these languages, except for those of a southern clan, the Mofaw [mofaw].
