'''Fuomi''' is the most widely spoken [[Morèi languages|Morèi language]], spoken natively in the central states such as [[Kû́tế|Kute]], [[Dáutâ|Dauta]] and [[Wàitên|Waiten]], and throughout the wider region as a lingua franca. It is notable among the Morèi languages for having developed a rich contour tone system.
