CULTURE & HERITAGE
Medu-Ndah-Ndah culture
Languages, traditions and remarkable sites of the Ndé division.
OUR LANGUAGES
Four languages, one culture
The Medu-Ndah-Ndah cultural sphere brings together four languages spoken in the Ndé division, West Cameroon:
- Medùmba Batongtou
- Nda’ Nda’ Ungameha
- Nda’ Nda’ Undiemeha
- Kwa’
Passing them on to young people born or raised in Canada is at the heart of our mission.
