LanguagesThe following classification follows Blench (2011). Languages with (?) are not listed in that source, but close to other languages according to Ethnologue. Ndoro–Fam may be a separate branch of Benue–Congo.
Ethnologue also lists Njerep, which most likely lies somewhere in the Mambila–Kamkam branch. The extinct Yeni, Luo and Kasabe languages were apparently Mambiloid, the first two close to Njerep. Fam is sometimes classified with Ndoro, but appears to be more divergent. The unclassified language Bung shows its strongest resemblance to be with the Ndung dialect of Kwanja. It also has words in common with other Mambiloid languages such as Tep, Somyev and Vute, while a number of words' origins remain unclear (possibly Adamawan).[1] References1. ^Bruce Connell, 1997: Moribund Languages of the Nigeria-Cameroon Borderland {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040814144719/http://lucy.ukc.ac.uk/dz/connell/Mori/Moribundlngs.html |date=2004-08-14 }}
