Ndemli or Bandem is a language of Cameroon spoken primarily in the Nkam Division of the Littoral Province; between Yabassi, Yingui, and Nkondjok. Recent classifications such as Nurse (2003)[3] place it in with the Narrow Grassfields languages, though Ethnologue does not reflect this. Ethnologue states that it is "related to Tikar" and that "the Bandobo dialect of Tikar is very similar to Ndemli", though it is not clear if Bandobo actually is Tikar.
