Tikar (also Tikali, Tikar-East, Tikari, Tingkala) is a Northern Bantoid, semi-Bantu language spoken in Cameroon by the Tikar people, as well as by the Bedzan Pygmies, who speak a dialect of the language.[2] According to linguist and anthropologist Harry H. Johnston, Semi-bantu and Bantu syntax suggests influence from mixed dynastic Egyptians and the "Negro languages in western and central Sudan."[3]
