has glosseng: Bamum (Shüpamom , "Bamum language"), or in its French spelling Bamoun, is one of the Benue-Congo languages of Cameroon, with approximately a quarter million speakers. The language is well-known for its original phonetic script developed by Sultan Njoya and his close palace circle around 1895. The development of the script spanned ideographic to syllabic systems, with the scripts final and most prominent form known as "A-ka-u-ku." This is not to be confused with another of Njoyas great inventions, which was an artificial spoken language known as Shümom, which was devised after the script. Outsider observers in recent years have tended to confuse the script with the invented spoken language. The French colonials destroyed Njoya's schools and forbade the teaching of the script, which fell into rapid decline and today hovers on the brink of extinction (the Bamum Scripts and Archives Project, in Foumban, is teaching the script to young people to spread literacy), but the Shümom language is spoken as a second language by many people and is taught on the radio throughout the Bamum kingdom.

has glossrus: Язык бамум (Shüpamom //, «язык бамум») — язык бенуэ-конголезской семьи, распространён в Камеруне, число носителей — около 215000 человек. Язык был распространён в ныне исчезнувшем султанате Бамум. В начале ХХ в. для данного языка султан Нджойя создал оригинальную письменность а-ка-у-ку, которая позднее была запрещена французскими колонизаторами и вышла из употребления. Данную письменность не следует путать с другим изобретением Нджойи, искусственным языком шюмом (Shümom), который до сих пор используется как второй язык многими людьми; радио региона Бамум ведёт на нём передачи, в том числе уроки языка.
