The Mbule language , also known as Dumbule or Mbola , is an endangered southern bantoid language that is spoken by only a few people in central Cameroon. It belongs to the subgroup of the Mbam languages .

The language is still spoken in the village of Mbola in the South Bokita subdivision of the Mbam division in the Central Cameroon region . In 2007 there were only 100 speakers of the Mbule, all of whom spoke at least one other language, as they mostly switch to speaking the official language, French.
