The Yeni language is an extinct language of Cameroon formerly spoken around Djeni Mountain in the Nyalang area. All that remains of the language apparently is a song remembered by some Sandani speakers. However according to Bruce Connell (the first linguist to report its existence in 1995) comparison of the song’s words to neighboring languages suggests that it was closely related to [the Mambiloid languages] Cambap Njerep and Kasabe[1].
