Other comments: Mefele has a decimal system similar to that of Cuvok. ''témére'' (one hundred) is a loanword from Fulfulde, a language of wider communication in the greater North of Cameroon. The speakers of the Mefele language (more than 10,000 speakers) are often included with the Mafa people by the Cameroonian government. However, they themselves do not call themselves Mafa, and the Mafa often refer to them as Bélahay (hay is a plural marker), which is often mentioned in the literature as Boulahay.
