'''Fuumu''' is a member of the [[Teke languages]] [[dialect continuum]] of the Congolese plateau. The three dialects, Fuumu (''Ifuumu''), Wuumu (''Iwuumu'') and Mpuono, are sometimes considered separate languages. They are sometimes considered part of [[South Teke language|South Teke]].

Mpuono has been spuriously conflated with [[Mbuun language|Mbuun]].<ref>[https://iso639-3.sil.org/sites/iso639-3/files/change_requests/2024/2024-006.pdf]</ref>
