Bassa: Cameroun...
"Bassa, or Basa, of Cameroun, or Mbene, is spoken by about
200,000 people east of Doula in southwest-central Cameroun.
There are numerous Bassa-speaking tribes, and the Bakoko
speak a related Bantu tongue.   (Bassa of Cameroun, a Bantu
tongue, is not linguistically related to the Bassa languages of
Liberia and Nigeria.)"

Bassa: Komo...
"The Komo, numbering about 75,000, live around the confluence
of the Benue and Niger rivers in Nigeria.   There are only one of a
number of Bassa groups in Nigeria.   Closely related to the
Kamuku dialects and linguistically grouped with Kamberri and
Dakkarkari, Komo Bassa is not related to the Kru-Bassa of
Liberia or the Bantu Bassa of southern Cameroun.   It is a Benue-
Congo tongue."
