Njerep language
Njerep (Njerup) is one of the Niger-Congo languages spoken in the Adamawa Region of Cameroon. Njerep is essentially extinct, with a handful of people who remember bits of it, but who cannot speak it. Though word lists and grammatical information have been collected from these people, the information remains fragmented.
==General information==
Njerep is considered a critically endangered language under the UNESCO language endangerment index. Research conducted in 2000 indicates that only six speakers of this language remain, all of whom reside in the Somié village located along the Nigeria-Cameroon border (6°28' N, 11° 27' E).〔 Of these six speakers, only one remains conversant in the language. The others have been reported to be less proficient than even a semi-speaker.〔 The youngest of the speakers were born in the 1940s, and it appears unlikely that Njerep will survive past the current generation.〔Connell, B. (1997). Moribund languages of the Nigeria-Cameroon borderland. In M. Brezinger (ed.), Endangered Languages in Africa. Cologne, Germany: Rüdiger Köppe Verlag. Pp 197-213. Retrieved from http://www.ddl.ish-lyon.cnrs.fr/projets/clhass/PageWeb/ressources/Isolats/Bung%20%20Connell%201997.pdf〕 Njerep is no longer a language of casual conversation. Instead, it is most often used for joking or for maintaining secrecy in conversation.〔 The Ba lect of the Mambila language, also known as Mvop, has instead supplanted Njerep in casual use.〔〔
