"The census, done in January 1997, recorded 192 people living in the hamlet of Njerep (Mvamngo). Of these, almost half represent a recent immigration population. Only four listed Njerep as a language used at home... A fifth person indicated Njerep as a language she used outside the home (she is Njerep married to a non-Njerep), and a sixth Njerep speaker is known to live outside the hamlet in another quarter of Somié... The youngest of the Njerep speakers is now in her fifties"

Mvop (Mambila), Fulfulde, French, Mbar (Mambila)
Most situations
"The Njerep speakers and their children listed Mvop, the Mambila lect (also called Ba) of the surrounding community, as the language of daily use, both inside and outside the home. Most also know some Fulfulde, and the younger ones (i.e. those who have been to school) also have some command of French, though use of these two languages is generally restricted to specific situations. Other languages, particularly the Mambila lect of Mbar, spoken mainly at Mbar on the Mambila plateau, are also spoken in the hamlet of Mvamngo"

"In its terminal stage, the language has been used primarily for greetings, joking, occasionally to share secrets, and its songs sung to recall the past. These functions have apparently died with [the last speaker]."
