Bishuo · 6.7°N 9.8°E

Bishuo (Bishùo) is an extinct southern Bantoid language of Cameroon.

The Bishuo language was originally spoken by three of the constituent groups of the Furu people, an ethnic group now speaking Jukunoid languages. As of 1986, only one man, Irissa Ntjieka, spoke Bishuo, although his son, Peter Alom, had been raised speaking it.
