Kaaloŋ (Kàlòng) also known as Dimbong (Mboŋ), is a nearly extinct Bantu language from the Center Province of Southern Cameroon.[3]
Many Kaalong speakers have shifted to the similar yet arguably distinct Bafia language.[4]
Pey (Rɨpeʔ) may be a dialect,[5] in which case the language might not be close to extinction.
