The Mbam languages are a group of erstwhile zone-A Northwest Bantu languages which some lexicostatistical studies suggest are not actually Bantu, but related Southern Bantoid languages.
According to Ethnologue 15, they include all of Guthrie's zone A.60 languages, and half of his A.40 languages:
- Sanaga: Tuki, Leti
- West Mbam: Bati, Nomaande, Tuotomb, Yambeta, Tunen
- Yambasa: Nubaca, Elip, Mbule, Mmaala, Nugunu, Yangben
