Comments on speakers
"All Baka speakers are fluent in Muyang... Apart from Muyang, Baka speakers are typical familiar with the two main vehicular languages of the region, Mandara and Fulfulde. Some French is known to a few individuals, as well as to schoolchildren who by and large do not speak Baka, however."

Location and Context
Countries
Cameroon
Location Description

"Far North Province, Mayo-Sava Division, northeast of Tokombere, Muyang, Mougouba, Gouadagouada, and Palbarar massifs... By some irony, the Baka language is no longer spoken in the village of that name except by a few older speakers in Muyang households. The main settlements where some Baka speakers live are Həmasək, Kablagaka, Akormagara, Koselbey, Demsa, Baka, Dakazlala, Makilŋgay, Yam Agda and Poŋ. Settlement is very dispersed in this region and these are in reality hamlets with a just a few compounds."
