Using the phonetic representation (IPA), you can obtain a writing system similar to the pinyin.

Hanyu Pinyin Hànyǔ Pīnyīn Fāng'àn

Bopomofo ㄏㄢˋ ㄩˇ ㄆㄧㄣㄧㄣㄈㄤㄢˋ

IPA [xân.ỳ pʰín.ín fáŋ.ân]

Cameroonian dialect are written using the GACL who is similar to the IPA.

Shʉ̄pāpə̀m (Bamoun): Pookɛ́t pә́nzéé ŋkut !

What exactly is the GACL? Trying to find information on it returns this HN comment as the top result, and a bunch of language-unrelated results after that.

From another comment, it's the General Alphabet of Cameroon Languages.
