Cameroon has more than 200 local languages and currently none of them appear in any of Wikimedia movement projects. Currently, in collaboration with local associations and members of the User Group (linguists, translators) we are engaged in the promotion of some languages. This will involve using the Lingua Libre platform and the Wiktionary to promote from audio files Ghomala, ewondo, bulu,... languages.
