Duala...
"Duala is spoken by about 200,000 people in coastal and inland
areas of Cameroun around Douala.   The majorty use Duala as a
trade language, although West African Pidgin English (q.v.)
is now superseding Duala as the lingua franca of the outlying
regions.   A Bantu tongue, Duala is related to Isubu and other
Bantu languages of southwestern Cameroun."
