Mada is an Afro-Asiatic language spoken in northern Cameroon. [Raymond G. Gordon, Jr, ed. 2005. "Ethnologue: Languages of the World". 15th edition. Dallas: Summer Institute of Linguistics.] It is distinct from the Mada language of Nigeria, which is a Niger-Congo language. ISO 639-3 distinguishes the two by referring to [http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/documentation.asp?id=mxu Mada (Cameroon)] and [http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/documentation.asp?id=mda Mada (Nigeria)]
