Cuvok (French: Tchouvok) is an Afro-Asiatic language spoken in northern Cameroon.[1]
Cuvok is spoken by about 5,000 speakers (ALCAM 1983) in and around Tchouvok, near Zamay (Mokolo commune, Mayo-Tsanaga department), Far North Region. Cuvok is about as closely related to Mefele (especially the Muhura dialect) as North Mofu is to South Mofu.[2]
Cuvok's vowel inventory only contains two phonemes: ə and a, one of the smallest of any language.[3]
