People of Cameroon include Bamileke, Fang, Funlani, Kirdi and whole host of other people. So many languages are spoken there it's not funny, but a formal summary should be coming soon.
There are some very good (i'm sure) proverbs at this site for Bamileke people. Unfortunately, i can't read french. :( http://www.bamileke.com/Newfolder/indextest.htm
i tried this site: http://www.systransoft.com/
but it didn't come out all too well. Plus the proverbs themselves aren't in french only the explanations.
