Kaaloŋ (Kàlòng) also known as Dimbong (Mboŋ), is a nearly extinct Bantu language from the Center Province of Southern Cameroon.
Many Kaalong speakers have shifted to the similar yet arguably distinct Bafia language.
Pey (Rɨpeʔ) may be a dialect, in which case the language might not be close to extinction.
