From Wikipedia
Bishuo (Bishùo) is an extinct southern Bantoid language of Cameroon.
The Bishuo language was originally spoken by three of the constituent groups of the Furu people, an ethnic group now speaking Jukunoid languages. As of 1986, only one man, Irissa Ntjieka, spoke Bishuo, although his son, Peter Alom, had been raised speaking it.
Classification
Bishuo only shares 11% of its vocabulary with neighbouring Bikya. However, it has 17% of its vocabulary in common with Noni.
This record is provisional: it was compiled from the cited sources but has not yet been checked by an InsideKamer editor.
