Bischuo is a bantoid language in Cameroon .

It was spoken in the Northwest Province in the Menchum Division , in the Furu Awa Subdivision in the towns of Ntjieka, Furu Turuwa and Furu Sambari. It was related to the Bikya and the Noone . It is an isolated southern bantoid language . In the course of time, the speakers switched to French, the official language of Cameroon. But some can also do the jukun . Only their original mother tongue, the bishopric, was completely forgotten due to its low political prestige. Since there was only one speaker of the language in 1986, it can now be viewed as a dead language .
