[@nasilamak2201]

Thanks for this. I'm traveling to Cameroon next year to connect with my Ancestors of the Bamileke people. I appreciate your assistance.

[@simonoubissi4046]

I hope your journey goes well/went well. My father's been talking about us going to Cameroon for a long time. I was born and raised in South Africa but I'm Bamiléké. My inability to speak the language is something I intend to deal with bit by bit before I meet my elders.

[@Resulam]

Very good job to you all who want to learn the language. Resulam is here to assist you with this noble quest ​@@simonoubissi4046

How do we say I love you?

[@RevolutionManJP]

Cowry is indeed a word but those who don't know the history say "shells".

[@Resulam]

Thanks for this insightful comment
