This article is a survey of the pronominal systems of Mundani, a Grassfields Bantu language of West Cameroon. It presents the morphological shapes and semantic values of the main pronoun series. These series are then divided into three sets on the basis of their syntactic functions. There is also a detailed treatment of emphatic pronouns, and the handling of co-reference in the pronominal system, involving reciprocal and reflexive relations, logophoric pronouns, and "Switch Reference" at discourse level.
