The language Njerep (also called njerup ; ISO 639-3: njr) is an almost extinct mambiloid language that is only spoken by seven elderly people on the border between Nigeria and Cameroon .
The language is still spoken by two people in Nigeria and five in Cameroon around Ba Mambila.
Less and less people use language as a means of communication. She is the only representative of the Njerup subgroup within the Mambila-Konja group. The younger people now mostly speak English , Nigeria's official and teaching language, and some can also speak Nigerian Mambila .
