Abstract:
This paper proposes an orthography for Ipulo, a Southern Bantoid language spoken by about 2,500 people in Akwaya Subdivision, Manyu Division, South West Region, Republic of Cameroon (Starr and Regnier 2008). This orthography conforms to the guidelines adopted in 1979 by the National Committee for the Unification and Harmonization of the Alphabets of Cameroon Languages (Tadajeu and Sadembouo 1979). As far as the author knows, the only previous research on Ipulo has been that of the author, an anthropological study in 2011 (Gallant 2011) and a phonological sketch in 2015 (Tuinstra 2015).
