Notes

The language is called Lembaama in ASG 1990 where the Lempiini dialect is used as reference.\nOkoudowa 2010:12 indicates Lembaama has two dialects in Gabon: Lempiini and Lembere (Mbere); and the terme “Mbere” has been used to refer to the language as well as Lembaama.\nLembaama (Ombamba) also has an ISO 639-3 code: mbm.\nGlottolog maps Mbere-Mbamba to ISO 639-3 mbt and the variant Ombamba-Congo to ISO 639-3 mbm.\nASG 1990 letters ꞵ ɣ ɍ ʃ w̤ are not used in Okoudowa’s orthography or other orthographies.
