Susan thank you for your language similarity. Yes bantu ancestral tribe evolved from shores of East and Central Africa, but due to disagreements family segregate, and move on either for whatever reasons, such as searching for green pastures. Bantu being the African dominantly group, they moved from East and Central following the Great Lift Valley of Africa, capturing territories, ending up to bunks of Atlantic ocean. And even some went to extreme measures to crossing all Atlantic ocean and ended up in now called Australia, or plus all those small Irelands such as Fig😅😊

@@kintuslounge253 This is the greatest mystery of all time. The translators of the bible, like Josephus, hid Ham between Japhet and Shem so that you will not see the deception. Ham is Cain's great-grandchild after the flood - that is how the devil continued after the flood and you wonder how? He probably hid in the cave or in the ark. But that is what happened. Change the names on the Table of Nations between Ham and Japhet and you have the correct genealogies. Who was in the South when Abraham went into the South, Japhet's Children! Not Ham. Read the Apocrypha and you will see/hear that Noah had 2 sons, Japhet and Shem. That is one of the reasons they were removed from the bible. More to come..Peace.

In Luganda we have both L and R but in speaking we only have L. R isnt pronounced as R and many Baganda have difficulties pronouncing r in english or Kinyankole . In writing, we use r only when it follows vouls e and i. e.g fire- Omuliro is pronounced as Omulilo without r but in writing we put r because there is i ( or e).

Compared with 2 1/2 million people speaking Luganda..so Swahili is the future Swahili is the best African language make your own research and you will find the answers to what I’m saying to be nothing but the fact and truth about Kiswahili …personally I’m from Uganda.

❤❤❤ Amazing! I can't believe it. Both languages, specifically the luganda sound like my mother's dialects known as Kaninghi and Ki tsayi ( Sub-groups belonging to the Teke ethno-linguistic people in the Congo Bassin). Indeed, in my mother's dialect, we say 1) mukasi : woman 2) gnama : meat 3) idza (kulia*): to eat 4) mwana: child 5) Ndzogho : elephant/ my father's dialect rather uses " "Nzoku" just as the Zulu unless I'm mistaken. 6) fumuna, (fukama*): to bend, to bow down 7) mva, i(mbua*): dog 8) ignua, (ku gnua*): to drink 9) fula : ask 10) tchisa ? : Are you okay ? 11) muti : a tree 12) mvubu: hippo 13) i yima : to sing 14) ikwa, ( kufua*): to die. Note : The variations into (..*) are mostly common in the kituba language of the Congos. Thank you very much for the content. Stay blessed and keep it going. Proud to be Bantu and israelite !

I once lived close to a family from Uganda in Germany, next there were 2 middle age women from my Country Zimbabwe. When the group was together I would greet the Zimbabweans with ' maswerasei' (how has been/spend your day) And the Uganda man always had a smirk. Later he told me it sounds like 'how have you fucked for him'. But in Shona it would be masvirasei. But nobody would ever ask anyone that in Zim.

Oh oh! this does not make sense to me. But who am l to say. In Uganda we have many tribes, may be in his tribe. Or else he was being a dirty old man. However there some words which are spoken in Shona and these same words have different meaning in Luganda.

Enjoyed that, according to our elder Rtd Maj, Hajji Nadduli's research, it was discovered that the first king of Buganda (Kintu) fred Buganda to Zambia and while there he married a zambian woman and bore children it is said that as they multiplied in numbers some of them immigrated to all the neighbouring countries like Malawi, Zimbabwe e.t.c in otherwords all those tribes whose languages are similar to luganda are surely Buganda's grandchildren.

The San people are the original natives of southern africa. Our Bantu ancestors came from the North during the iron age and came with the bantu languages which evolved over time. Interaction with the San people in the south introduced clicks to the languages further south resulting in clicks found in ndebele, xhosa, Zulu, sotho etc. But most bantu people can understand each other if they speak slowly. Hence its easy for us to understand a Zulu song as well as a swahili song or any bantu song. We are one!!!! All bantu people share the same common ancestors before some decided to migrate south. So I can safely say southern African languages came from Northern languages

Me i think in the beginning when people was still few they used to stay together in one place. So in history if i am not mistaken people was moved from north Africa to Southern Africa in searching of hunting and looking for good grazing lands. So in a nut shell i can say our forefathers are one. We're brothers and sisters indeed.

This is news to me, Susan. I know that the Bantu languages have many similarities in vocabularly. But I had not expected such close similarity between our Luganda and the Shona language of Zimbabwe. Kinyarwanda of Rwanda is the other language I can think of whose alphabet is the same as the Luganda one, the two differing in only one letter. Thank you very much for this tutorial. Well done.

Madam Susan, i gather from your Shona equivalents to Luganda to sound much more like our Lusoga in Uganda. I actually had a Musoga friend who visited Zimbabwe ans told me he spoke his Lusoga untranslated, and he also understood Shona without a word of translation for him. Could you look into that possibility of may be comparing Lusoga to Shona. I understand the Shona also dance by the waist like both Baganda and Basoga..😊
