Mpiemo (Bimu) is a Bantu language of the Central African Republic. The French: Atlas linguistique du Cameroun (ALCAM, or "Linguistic Atlas of Cameroon") gives the name French: '''Mpo'''.[1]
There is little description of the language, but one team used Mpiemo data to test the ability of computer programs to analyze real language data.[2]
