      • Description : The Bakola project aims at documenting the Bakola/Bagyeli language as it is spoken in everyday conversation. The linguistic documentation of Bakola will focus on three major domains: 1. audio recordings (narrative, procedural, hortative, expository, conversations, epics, songs, folktales, proverbs, etc.) 2. video recordings (dances, storytelling events, songs, procedural discourse, and basic conversational situations such as greetings, daily activities, food gathering, etc.) 3. the elicitation of specialized vocabulary (plant and animal names, herbalist and hunting techniques as well as stories, music and rituals to build relationships among humans and with the spiritual world)

        • Description : Bakola is a Bantu A (80) language spoken in the Southern region of Cameroon by a population of former hunter gatherers. Bakola is a highly endangered language, as a result of the dominance of neighboring languages such as Basaa, Bulu-Fang, Kwasio and Bakoko. The Bakola people live in small camps off the road and they do not form a homogenous community. This situation favors the emergence of many dialects, each of which illustrates a process of shift to the nearby dominant language. The variety spoken in Bella is under the Bakoko influence, and this can be felt easily through code-switching, constant borrowing and pholonogy convergence

          • Description : Bakola is a Bantu A (80) language spoken in the Southern region of Cameroon by a population of former hunter gatherers. Bakola is a highly endangered language, as a result of the dominance of neighboring languages such as Basaa, Bulu-Fang, Kwasio and Bakoko. The Bakola people live in small camps off the road and they do not form a homogenous community. This situation favors the emergence of many dialects, each of which illustrates a process of shift to the nearby dominant language. The variety spoken in Bella is under the Bakoko influence, and this can be felt easily through code-switching, constant borrowing and pholonogy convergence
