The Bishuo Language is an extinct or nearly extinct language of Cameroon. It was spoken in the North West Province, Menchum Division, Furu-Awa Subdivision, Ntjieka, Furu-Turuwa, and the Furu-Sambari villages. It was related to Bikya. It was reported by Breton 1986 that the Bishuo people had shifted to Jukun, with apparently only one remaining person, over 60 years old, who knew any Bishuo.
