Notes

There are at least two common orthographies in Latin script, the pre-1979 orthography with 5 vowel letters plus accented ones and the General Alphabet of Cameroon Languages (GACL) with 9 vowel letters plus tone marks.\nMatateyou 2002 uses an orthography similar to Péchandon & Njoya 1999 with some differences like ŋ and tones marks, including macron for mid tone otherwise and ǜ ǘ ü̂ ǚ but, it seems, not ǖ.\nMission protestante française 1952 and Péchandon & Njoya 1999 use ṅ and Alliance Biblique du Cameroun 1988 use ng instead of ŋ of the GACL. RESULAM 2023 and Salam & Tchamna 2023 use the GACL. Njimah & Assoumou 2023 propose a revized orthography based on Péchandon & Njoya 1999.
