Mmuock

Mmuock (or Mmock) is the Anglicised form of Muòk (m̩muɔk)—sometimes written as Mǒk (see next paragraph). The exonym is Bamock. Mmuock is a tribe in the West/Southwest of Cameroon. Belonging to the Bamilike ethnic group, the Mmuock tribe comprises four villages: M'mock Lelieng (Fossung ellelem), Mmuock Fossimondi (M'muockngie), Mmockmbie, and Mmuock Leteh. The first three villages are found in the English-speaking Lebialem Division in the Southwest Region of Cameroon, while Mmock Leleng lies in the french-speaking West Region.

The Mmuock tribe speaks the Mmuock (Mmock) language. Due to dialectal differences within Mmuock (Mmock) communities, the name of the tribe is pronounced Yemba pronunciation: [m̩muɔːk] in Mmuock-Leteh and Mmuock-Fossimondi, andYemba pronunciation: [m̩mok] in the other two villages. As a result, there are two Anglicised spellings: Mmuock and Mmock.
