Mmuock

Mmuock (sometimes Mmock) is the Anglicised form of Muòk (IPA: [m̩muɔk])—sometimes written as Mǒk (see next paragraph). Mmuock is a tribe in the West/Southwest of Cameroon. Belonging to the Bamilike ethnic group, the Mmuock tribe comprises four villages: Mmuock Leteh, Mmuock Fossimondi, Mmockmbie, and Mmock Leleng . 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, the name of the tribe is pronounced in Mmuock-Leteh and Mmuock-Fossimondi as IPA: [m̩muɔːk], and in the other two villages as IPA: [m̩mok]. As a result, there are two Anglicised spellings: Mmuock and Mmock.
