Yeni Language

The Yeni language is an extinct language of Cameroon, formerly spoken around Djeni Mountain in the Nyalang area. All that remains of the language, apparently, is a song remembered by some Sandani-speakers. However, according to Bruce Connell (the first linguist to report its existence, in 1995), comparison of the song's words to neighboring languages suggests that "it was closely related to Cambap, Njerep, and Kasabe"http://lucy.ukc.ac.uk/dz/connell/Mori/Moribundlngs.html.
