Distribution
Kolbila is closely related to Samba Leko. It is spoken by fewer than 4,000 speakers in several settlements along the Ngaoundéré-Garoua road in Bantanjé (Bantadje) canton of northwest Cameroon (Sabine Littig 2017). There were three major waves of settlement to these locations:[3]
- Demsa (in 1954)
- Mayo Boki (in 1972)
- Mbé (in 1976)
