Bafaw-Balong is aBantu language ofCameroon. There are two divergent varieties, Fo’ (Bafaw, Bafo, Bafowu, Afo, Nho, Lefo’) and Long (Balong, Balon, Balung, Nlong, Valongi, Bayi, Bai), which are sometimes considered distinct languages.
The Bafaw and Balong people are two of several who call themselvesNgoe as they share a legendary origin with speakers of theNgoe languages, but their language is not part of that group.
