The language Bamenyam (also bamenyan, mamenyan, mengambo, pamenyan; ISO 639-3: BCE) is a bantoide language from the group of grassland languages that a total of 4,000 people in the Cameroonian Region West is spoken.

It is one of nine languages from the group of Nun languages and is therefore related to Bamali [bbq], Bafanji [bfj] and Bambalang [bmo]. Most speakers of the Bamenyam can also speak the only Cameroonian official language French [fra] or the Cameroonian Pidginenglisch [wes]. The language Bati [btc] also has similarities with the Bamenyam.
