Bulu...
"Bulu is spoken in south-central Cameroun, from the Gabon
border northward.   Although native to about 110,000 Bulus,
including members of the Linda, Mbama, and Ngomo tribes, it
is understood as well by speakers of the related Ntum, Make,
Bene, and Beti (Yaoundé) languages, and thus reaches as many
as 500,000 persons.   Bulu is a Bantu tongue.

The first Bulu Bible emerged from a press near London in 1940,
with exploding bombs to salute its appearance.   The Old
Testament contained in this book was translated by the Rev. Dr.
A. I. Good, son of the first my. to the Bulus."--1000 Tongues, 1972   [Info only]
