Kogo, also referred to as Bakoko[1] and Basoo,[1] is a Bantu language of Cameroon. North and South Kogo are as distinct from each other as they are from Basaa; they might be considered three dialects of a single language.[4]
Orthography
Kogo uses the Latin script.[1] Its alphabet is based on the General Alphabet of Cameroon Languages and consists of 7 vowels and 20 consonants.[5][6]
