It is a language of Cameroon it is called Grassfield languages, among the Bamilike, it is said to me from a Bamilike Noble, that it is sort of like a lingua franca among the Bamilike tribes. There are sources for dictionaries mostly in French online, I have to build the resources for this group, or anyone can add them. I have been collecting vocabulary from a native speaker Giles Domkam, he is constructing a large Medumba basic vocabulary list easily accessible, in English and French. I have compared numerous items with Medew Neter, so I will be sharing some correspondences because it is said that Bamilike Medumba are Semi -Bantu languages. If you check Wikipedia, the references numbered [10] -[16] by Jan Voorhoev is said to give good work, mainly, at this point, the collection of the lexis and morphological structuring is most important to our studies for comparative purposes.-
I have also done an interview with Bamilike Prince, Delaure where he speaks on Medumba and how it operates in Cameroon. I will share it.

Also, It is so-called a Grassfields Bantu language, of the Southern Bantoid branch of the Bantoid language family which in turn is a division of the Benue Congo Language family, which is a division of Niger-Congo. This Southern Bantoid branch is said to be questionable, even Niger-Congo itself is questionable on lack of the genetic unity of the phylum.
