Cameroon Pidgin, Jukun

"Jukun is used for communicating with speakers of related language groups, and Pidgin English is used when a stranger does not speak Jukun. [...] Attitudes toward the mother tongue are very positive. The interviewees stated that, after English and French which are official languages, the next language, in the order of preference, which they should choose to read and write is Akum. The people interviewed were confident that their language would continue to be spoken indefinitely. In fact, the paramount ruler expressed much disgust with the children who fail to use the mother tongue at home."
