Engwo Dictionary

The name of the geographical area is called Ngwo but the language name is Engwo. It is spoken in Njikwa Subdivision, Momo Division in the North West Region of Cameroon. The language is homogenously spoken in about 15 different quarters (equal to villages) within the Ngwo reference dialect area but becomes heterogeneous (with a low degree of intelligibility) when we extend to the other villages listed as dialects: Konda, Basa, Ekweri, Banya, Bako, Okorobi, Bakwa, Ekwebo and Amasi (see ALCAM (Dieu and Renaud 1983), Ethnologue (Gordon, 2005) and Brye 1999).
