- Tikar_people abstract "The Tikar is a blanket term used for several ethnic groups in Cameroon. It has been used very widely of people (and for example of ethnic art objects) so that it has become profoundly ambiguous.There is a single ethnic group called the Tikar who live in on the Tikar Plain Adamaoua Region (Province). They speak a Bantoid language called Tikar. Their population is approximately 25,000. (See below for other groups to whom the term is applied). The Bedzan pygmies (who also live on the Tikar Plain) share their language. The main Tikar towns are Bankim, Ngambe Tikar, and Magba.The Tikar have elements of matrilineal and patrilineal descent. Their folk belief states that during pregnancy the blood that the woman would normally release during menstruation forms parts of the fetus. This blood is said to form the skin, blood, flesh and most of the organs. The bones, brain, heart and teeth are believed to be formed from the father's sperm. In the case of a son the masculinity also comes from this. The Tikar are also noted as mask-makers.Eldridge Mohammadou has written extensively on Tikar origins which he traces to a group called Ntumu from between Tibati and Ngaoundere.Although the Joshua Project states that the primary religion of the Tikar people is Islam this is uncertain and unlikely granted regional distributions of religious affiliation in Cameroon. Most Bamoun are Moslem, but most Tikar are Christian as are most of the population of the North West Province apart from the Fulbe/Fulani.Quite different from these Tikar are many groups in the northwestern part of the country, in the Northwest Province near the Nigerian border whose royal families trace links to the Tikar royal family. Examples are the Nso' and the Wimbum from the North West as well as the Bamoun (from West Province) whose languages are different from Tikar. Although it is common to see statements such as the \"Nso' are Tikar\" or the Wimbum came from Tikari, that really should not be taken to be a statement about the culture, languages etc. of most of the people of that ethnicity.On the 2006 PBS television program, African American Lives, the noted African American musician Quincy Jones had his DNA tested; the test showed him to be of Tikar descent. In the PBS television program Finding Your Roots, African American former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice learned she shared maternal heritage with the Tikar.".
