The Kom language, Itaŋikom, is the language spoken by the Kom people of Cameroon. Shultz 1997a and Shultz 1997b (available online) contain a comprehensive description of the language's grammar.

Kom is a tonal language with three tones.^[2]

Orthography[]

Kom uses an orthography based on the General Alphabet of Cameroon Languages: the basic Latin alphabet with the addition of the letters æ, ɨ, œ, and ŋ, the digraph ue for the close central rounded vowel, the grave accent for marking the low tone, and the circumflex accent for marking the falling tone.^[3]
