what language is baka in?
Likewise, the name Baka is sometimes mistakenly applied to other area peoples who, like the Baka and Twa, have been historically called pygmies (a term that is considered to be quite disrespectful). Unlike most other Central African Peoples, the Baka maintain a unique language, also called Baka. Although nearly all of their neighborsâincluding the Akaâspeak Bantu languages, the Baka languages are of a different language family, Ubangian. In addition, many Baka speak Koozime, Bakoum, Bangandou, et al., the tongues of their respective Bantu neighbours, as second languages. A much smaller proportion speak French.
