 The Book Chain in Cameroon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Cameroon is a country of about 15 million people in the Central African sub-region, made up of ten provinces with a bilingual culture.
In 1961, when the former Southern Cameroons (under British trusteeship) and East Cameroon (under French trusteeship) came together as the Federal Republic of Cameroon, the cultural identity of the two former colonies was retained, and thus the bilingual culture was born and has been maintained in varying degrees.
The Cameroon educational system is a three-tier system, with English being the medium of instruction in the anglophone provinces and French being the medium of instruction in the francophone provinces, though any individual or institution is allowed to use either of the two official languages in any of the provinces as the need arises.

During fieldwork in the Mambila region of Cameroon's Adamawa province in 1994-95, I came across a number of moribund languages.
In any case, it is probable that these languages were once situated in the area where Langa now is, in the shadow of Mount Djeni (also called l'Aigue de Mboundu on maps of Cameroon).
The most commonly held belief is that that coming of the Fulani jihad during the 19th century, the subsequent enslavement of many and the massacring of resisters scattered and decimated their populations, to the point where their languages were no longer viable.
