Wom (^[2]), or Perema, is a Leko language of Nigeria.

Phonology

Consonants are:

m	n
b	d		ɟ	ɡ	ɡb ~ ɡʷ
p	t		c	k	kp ~ kʷ	(ʔ)
f v	s z	ʃ ʒ		x		(h)
	r
	l		j		w

/ŋ/, and only /ŋ/, appears geminate. /ʔ/ is rare, perhaps borrowed. /h/ is known from one word, not borrowed.

Vowels are /i e ɛ a ə ɔ o u/. All may be doubled, but there are no long vowels. /a/ is neutralized to /ə/ in all but final position.

Tone is probably high, low, and falling, as in Chamba Leko.
