Semi-bantu language in Adamawa Region, Cameroon From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tikar (also called Tigé, Tigré or Tikari) is a Northern Bantoid, semi-Bantu language that is spoken in Cameroon by the Tikar people, as well as by the Bedzan Pygmies, who speak their own dialect of the language.[2] A recent hypothesis by Roger Blench suggests that the Tikar language could be a divergent language in the Niger-Congo language family with an uncertain origin.[2]
The little evidence available suggests that it is most closely related to the Mambiloid and Dakoid languages.[2]
The Tikar language has four dialects, including Tikari, Tigé, and Túmú.[3][4]
