Cameroon

Unreached people groups

An overview of the country's people groups, focusing on those who still have little or no access to the gospel in their own language and culture.

Overview

Cameroon holds one of the greatest ethnic diversities in Africa, with about 250 people groups and more than 200 languages. Although the nation has a Christian majority, dozens of groups, concentrated mainly in the Muslim north and in the most remote areas, still have little or no access to the gospel, and hundreds of languages still lack the Scriptures in the language of their heart.
