A few dwellings remained at Pointe Denis on the southern bank until the beginning of the 20th century. The <strong>Mpongwe<\/strong> are part of the <strong>Myene<\/strong> group, along with the Orungu, the Nkomi, the Galwa, the Adyumba, and the Enenga. The <strong>Myene<\/strong> area spreads from the northwestern to the southwestern coast around Fernan Vaz Lagoon, with a peak in the Lower Ogooue: a position thanks to which they have played a significant part in the Atlantic trade.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>Myene<\/strong> people are estimated around 50,000. Dialectal variations being very slight, mutual understanding is ensured between the speakers of different dialects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>Mpongwe<\/strong> group counts fewer than 5,000 effective speakers. Du Chaillu had already accounted for very low figures regarding <strong>Mpongwe<\/strong> speakers 150 years ago. The Benga, from Cap Esterias and Cap Santa Clara, the Sekyani from Cocobeach and the Akele from Komo, long time neighbours, often blend into the <strong>Mpongwe<\/strong> group through marriage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In awareness of their<strong> traditional heritage<\/strong> being threatened with <strong>extinction<\/strong>, the <strong>Mpongwe <\/strong>have created structures for the <strong>protection<\/strong> of their <strong>language <\/strong>and <strong>culture<\/strong>. The traditional chieftainship (<em>Eka<\/em>) plays a fairly important role in this perspective.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">The videos in Mpongwe<\/span><\/h5>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#state language mpongwe\"><span style=\"color: #808000;\">The state of the language<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#tales and narratives mpongwe\"><span style=\"color: #808000;\">Tales and narratives<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#music and songs mpongwe\"><span style=\"color: #808000;\">Music and songs<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#little words mpongwe\"><span style=\"color: #808000;\">Little words for everyday use in Mpongwe<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#recipes mpongwe\"><span style=\"color: #808000;\">Recipes<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808000;\"><a name=\"state language mpongwe\"><\/a>The state of the language<\/span><\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sorosoro is not only interested in\u00a0preserving languages.
