More information:

    There is a variety of Mmen [bfm], a Central Ring language, known as Fungom. However, there are reports of a language known as "Fungom" which is more closely related to Isu [isu], a West Ring language. There may actually be two Fungoms: one variety which is close to Mmen and another one which is closer to Isu. No conclusive evidence is currently available. (Roland Kiessling, P.C.)
