- COMMENTAIRES SUR LE CONTEXTE DE LA LANGUE
"All Cambap speakers now speak primarly Kwanja; which dialect depends on the village... In most cases it is the Sundani dialect which is favoured, though some use Ndung. Many are able to speak Kwanja dialects; in addition, many have some command of Fulfulde and some speak a variety of Mambila."

- LOCATION DESCRIPTION
"Cambap speakers (who call themselves Camba) are found in a number of Kwanja villages, and although three villages in the area, Sango, Camba, and Ndem Ndem are said to be Camba villages, there is no concentration of Cambap speakers in any of them... According to oral tradition, Cambap... is now removed from the area where it was originally spoken... the region around Djeni Mountain."
