Mundang people

The Mundang people are an ethnic group in West Africa who live in parts of Cameroon, Chad, and Nigeria. They speak the Mundang language, a subset of Mbum languages.

Historically, the Mundang were an agricultural people; in the beginning of the 20th century they grew and harvested peas, beans, potatoes, nuts and durra. They also branched out into cotton production and raised cattle and goats. They brewed beer as well, from millet. Mundang people in Léré built mud houses with straight roofs and polished interior walls. They also constructed circular corn silos or granaries, accessed through the roof.
