Oku language
Oku (Ebkuo, Ekpwo, Ukfwo, Bvukoo, Kuɔ) is a Grassfields Bantoid language that is primarily spoken by the Oku people of northwest Cameroon, a fondom of the Tikar people.[citation needed] They are a different ethnic group from the Oku people of Sierra Leone.
Oku has 21 consonant phonemes. The consonant phoneme inventory of the language is shown below.
Davis argues that Oku has five nasal phonemes. These are three non-syllabic nasals (/m/, /n/, and /ŋ/), syllabic /m̩/, and archiphonemic //N//. /m̩/ does not assimilate to the following consonant. However //N// assimilates before all consonants except /f/, /t͡ʃ/, and /d͡ʒ/, where it becomes /n/.
Davis describes the following vowels in her thesis.
The Oku alphabet has 25 letters.
