Mbum languages

The Mbum languages are a small group of the Mbum–Day branch of the erstwhile Adamawa languages, spoken in southern Chad, northwestern Central African Republic, northern Cameroon, and eastern Nigeria. Their best-known member is Mbum; other languages in the group include Tupuri and Kare.

They were labeled "G6" in Joseph Greenberg's Adamawa language-family proposal.
