Fali is a language, or perhaps a pair of languages, of northern Cameroon. Included in Greenberg's Adamawa languages (as group G11), it was excluded from that family by Boyd (1989). Roger Blench suspects it may represent one of the earlier lineages to have branched off the Atlantic–Congo stock. ==Varieties== According to ''Ethnologue'' 16, the two blanches of Fali are "different," but it is not clear how distinct they are. Blench apparently treats them as half a dozen languages in two branches. South Fali has 20,000 speakers, with several dialects. North Fali, with 16,000 speakers, also has several dialects; North Fali speakers were "rapidly" shifting to Adamawa Fulfulde by 1982. ;North Fali : Dourbeye (Fali-Dourbeye) : Bossum (Fali-Bossum) : Bvəri (Fali du Peske-Bori) ;South Fali : Kaang (Fali Kangou) : Bele (Fali-Bele) : Fali-Tinguélin 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fali languages (Cameroon)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
