Pana is an Mbum language of the Central African Republic. A few thousand speak it in southern Chad and northern Cameroon. A dialect in Cameroon, Man, may be a separate language. Blench (2004) leaves Pondo and Gonge in CAR unclassified within the Mbum languages.
Distribution
[edit | edit source]Pana is spoken around Belel (Belel commune, Vina department, Adamawa Region), and in Mayo-Rey department, Northern Region. It is also found in CAR and Chad.[2]
