Mpiemo (Bimu) is a Bantu language of the Central African Republic. The Atlas linguistique du Cameroun (ALCAM, or "Linguistic Atlas of Cameroon") gives the name Mpo.[3]

There is little description of the language, but one team used Mpiemo data to test the ability of compute programs to analyze real language data.[4]
