Lamé

Lamé is a centre of the Pévé people, whose language belongs to the Chadic family. Oral traditions recall a journey from the Chari country across the Logone, followed by a division into several groups. One group moved west and established a chiefdom under Dju Gumbay before settling at Sato and then Lamé. Its rulers later encountered the Fulbe of Rey Bouba, with whom one chief made an alliance.

The later city of Pala lies here.
