The Noni language, also called Noone, is an Eastern Beboid language of the Niger–Congo family in Cameroon. The Noone, Ncane, and Mungong varieties are sometimes considered three distinct Noni languages. Ethnologue reports that Ncare is 88% lexically similar with Noone, and 84% with Saari (Nsari). Noni is the native language to 40,000 people in the country, particularly in the North West Province, the Bui Division and the northwest Kumbo Subdivision. Noone proper was used as the secret language in Indiana Jones. References Relevant literature Boutwell, Richard. 2020. A grammar of Nchane: A Bantoid (Beboid) language of Cameroon.
