Due to traditional predominance of multilingualism, if we wanted to establish the number of total speakers of a given language of Lower Fungom, we would be obliged to consider the whole area and not confine ourselves to the village which gives the name to the language. This means that, at any given moment, the “speech community” associated with a particular language consists both of those resident in its associated village and of significant numbers of non-residents.

LUGARES: Cameroon

DESCRIÇÃO DA LOCALIDADE: Lower Fungom region, Cameroon; village of Mashi and other villages.

OUTROS IDIOMAS USADOS PELA COMUNIDADE
COMENTÁRIOS SOBRE O CONTEXTO DO IDIOMA: "Jukun is used as a LWC [language of wider communication] in Nse, although the people are not generally bilingual. It is also used as a LWC in Lebo, but very little in Bukpang 2."

DESCRIÇÃO DA LOCALIDADE: "The Bunaki make up the ethnic group speaking the language (of the Beboid subbranch of the Bantu branch) Naki, meaning 'all of us'. They live... on both sides of the Forest Reserve of Fungom. To the northwest they live in the third-class chiefdom of Nse, or Nser (with 300 inhabitants), the language of which is Nsaa and whose inhabitants are the Bunsaa. To the east they live along all the edges of that forest with, from north to south, the third-class chiefdoms of Lebo (with 200 inhabitants) and of Bukpang 2 (with 700 inhabitants). This area is called ‘Mashi Overside', including the district of Patali (and not Batari) towards Lebo... Naki, the only Beboid language of the Furu-Awa Subdivision, is spoken in the chiefdoms of Nse to the north of the Forest Reserve, and in those of Lebo and Bukpang 2 to the east."

MAIS COMENTÁRIOS: "Their historical center is the third-class chiefdom on the other side of the Katsina-Ala, and thus outside of the Furu-Awa Subdivision: Mashi (or Marshi or Manshi), Bukpang 1 (600 inhabitants) and Mekaf (700 inhabitants). This means that there are about 3,000 Bunaki in Cameroon, of whom 1,200 are in the Furu-Awa Subdivision and that they have known a historic spread from the south to the north. The farthest point of their expansion moreover is in Nigeria: Belogo (200 inhabitants) or Tosso 2, on the left bank of the Gamana to the east of Furu-Awa."
