Bafia or Kpaʼ is a Bantu language spoken by 70,000 Bafia people in Cameroon according to 2005 figures.[1] It is used in the Bafia subdivision of the Mbam and Inoubou Division in Center Province in southwestern Cameroon.[1] Speakers refer to the language as Rɨkpaʼ and to themselves as Ɓəkpaʼ (Bekpak).[3]
Pey (Rɨpeʔ) is sometimes counted as a dialect but is quite different and may instead be a variety of Kaalong.[4]
