Other comments: Cuvok has deciaml system, Cuvok numbers with an asterisk mark /*/ are those which are palatalised. téméré (one hundred) is a loanword from Fulfulde, a language of wider communication in the greater North of Cameroon. This language is related to cuvok even in terms of their linguistic classification. No linguistic work has been done so far on this language because the Mefele people understand and use Mafa in church and in market. The hypothesis is that this is a dialect of Mafa language( I am a Mafa speaker and know the situation)

Cuvok (French: Tchouvok) is an Afro-Asiatic language spoken in northern Cameroon by about 5,000 speakers.
