From Wikipedia

Cuvok (French: Tchouvok) is an Afro-Asiatic language spoken in northern Cameroon.

Cuvok is spoken by about 5,000 speakers (ALCAM 1983) in and around Tchouvok, near Zamay (Mokolo commune, Mayo-Tsanaga department), Far North Region. Cuvok is about as closely related to Mefele (especially the Muhura dialect) as North Mofu is to South Mofu.

Cuvok's vowel inventory only contains two phonemes: ə and a, one of the smallest of any language.
