The Pam of Cameroon

The Pam of Cameroon, numbering approximately 125 people, are Unengaged and Unreached. They are a community within Cameroon's Adamawa Fulfulde-speaking sphere, a lingua franca spread after Modibo Adama's early 19th-century jihad founded the Adamawa empire, later adopted by missionaries after 1885 as a church language across the region. They mostly adhere to Folk Islam and Adamawa Fulfulde is their primary language.
