"[Mungbam] comprises the varieties of the villages of Abar, Biya, Missong, Munken, and Ngun... Although these varieties are more or less mutually intelligible, speakers uniformly reject the notion that any of these five villages speak the same language. They further reject any notion of shared ethnicity with any of the other five villages. There is therefore no indigenous name for either the language or the people who speak it, and the name used in this paper has been coined for convenience. It is a quasi-acronym derived from the names of the five villages where it is spoken, specifically formed by the emphasized letters in the following list: Munken, Ngun, Biya, Abar, and Missong."
