Wuzlam, also called Uldeme (Ouldémé), is an Afro-Asiatic language of the Chadic branch. It is spoken in northern Cameroon.[1]
The Wuzlam (10,500 speakers) originally lived in the Wuzlam massif, in the canton of Mayo-Ouldémé (arrondissement of Tokombéré, department of Maya-Sava, Far North Region). The northeastern edge of this massif is inhabited by speakers of Pelasla or Gwendelé, culturally assimilated to the Wuzlam, or "Ouldémé".[2]
