Ndai, also known as Galke or Pormi, is a nearly extinct Mbum language of northern Cameroon. There are only about a few speakers remaining in the vicinity of Tcholliré (Tcholliré commune, Mayo-Rey department, Northern Region).^[2] The name of the language supposedly comes from the language's word for "cow". The language is spoken to a degree of fluency by 5 speakers, all over the age of 50, and two others are alleged to hold a conversational-level knowledge of the language.^[3]
