I'm a Ugandan based in Botswana i have zambian friends they will be talking there stories but i could hear most of the words it's amazing

Wow we Africans are definitely one people. I see a lot of similarities in my own language bukusu (luhya) of Kenya which I teach on mychannel too. Some of the words you have shared like nyama is enyama in bukusu, to enter - ingila, leave - lekha.

I'm from South Africa I speak tsonga most of the words you said have the same meaning as ours I'm literally shocked 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hi there. As a DRC 🇨🇩 citizen who is very interested in languages, I find that BEMBA people/language of the south east of the DRC 🇨🇩 and the north of Zambia 🇿🇲 are direct cousins of LUBA of the DRC 🇨🇩. Their culture, names, ... I like the work you are doing for us, dear sister. Keep it up. Well done. 🎉🎉🔥🔥💖💖💖👏👏🙏🤝

I’m truly happy to find such Content thanks sooo much, I’m muganda from #Uganda . Thanks sooo much for this information...

Greetings ma'am. Here is a list of a few words I picked up from your video, these are from the Xhosa language of South Africa. Isifuba_ Chest Nyama_ Meat Iliso_ Eye Phumla_ Rest Nyoko/Nina_ Mother Khululeka_ Leave Lima_ Cultivate Into_ Thing Mvubu_ Hippopottumus Inkukhu_ Chicken Umsila_ Tail Ulwimi_ Language Ukuhleka_ Laugh Unyaka/Iminyaka_ Age/Years Uswazi_ Stick

Thank you for your research. Your videos, I have watched so far, with comparisons on Bemba, Shona, Zulu, are an amazing revelation about the Bantu languages. What a brilliant idea you are working on. The similarities are so incredible. You have done a great job, and are an authority in linguistics, today. It is evident that the equivalent terms in the Kiswahili language is an agglomeration or a variation of some of these and other Bantu languages.

I love that we feel at home everywhere 😊❤

The evolution of Bantu language in Africa is very interesting. I have heard words that mean the same exact thing in Rwanda, Burundi and Luhya people in Western Kenya

90% of the said words are similar in Swahili, and all Bantus languages in Kenya. Very interesting. Thank you.

All along, I have been looking for such a video... Even some words on nyanja(Zambia) are the same as those in Luganda (Uganda).. Nyanja itself means a big water body

Thank you so much for sharing!

Very interesting 👏🏿 👏🏿

Very interesting... ❤️

Ooooho I love it, I am from Mumias Kenya and I can assure you luganda,lu bemba,lu shona and our lu wanga are very much similar ie kiberiti just like in shona we call it shibiriti

Some of the words are found in the Sesotho language of South Africa, Lesotho and Zimbabwe and related languages like Setswana of Botswana and South Africa.

Shona=muramu=in-law Shona =rima=cultivate OR darkness Shona=pima=quantity measuring Shona =chekudya= food to eat Shona=imbwa=dog Shona=kunwa= to drink Shona=kuseka=laugh Shona=muviri=body Really enjoy these videos which highlight our similarities.

Some words are similar to the Kikuyu of Kenya 🇰🇪as well... nyina, Ingira, nyama, Nyoko/Nyokwa, iembe, kibiriti, Tema, kiroto (dream), Bata etc

Wow, this is amazing. You’re spot on 👍🏾 I am a Bemba, I must say well done!!

Very interesting, Im bemba and I was sure I could hear similarities between the two languages when I heard a colleague from Uganda talk, It was strikingly similar

Truely before people had one language Uganda, Zambia Malawi too the words you have said are same

We pronounce it as though its got an "H" *CHINTU* and yes mulamu means in law... so every word that start with a *"c-i"* are pronounced as *"CHI"* and it's *Umuswaki* with a kee sound at the end... you did good😊

Zambians and Baganda people in Uganda U are brothers and sister❤

Amazing same as Nyanja as well

I like this idea of bantu language dictionary......is there a way we can subscribe to this arrangement? And may u share the details of the platform we can use to be connected to the arrangements. Thanks

Even in bemba nsanga can mean to meet someone e.g(wala nsanga mushila)you'll meet me on the way.

Wow I need to hear fully spoken bemba language becoz it's totally related to the ganda language

Banange, this is amazing

Where is aswei from?

👌

I have enjoyed this video. These similarities in tje words relate very well with our Baganda History. Whoever has read or whoever knows the history of King Kintu, the first king of Buganda will understand where it all comes from. Kintu fought with Bemba , and Bemba went south words with some people. This could explain in it well

Very interesting 😮… vey similar to kirundi (Burundi) and kinyarwanda (Rwanda) …wow

Very true

I am very impressed 👏 with your Inspirational historical Discovery and Relationships of Bantu people. It's believed the Baganda in Uganda and the Bemba in Zambia and the Lunda in DRC re One Peoples who came from Israel through Uganda to Congo and ended in Zambia. Brilliant Lady Susan from Kintusland Uganda. God Bless you

May God expose this knowledge to all the generations

Thanks for displaying pork my favorite.

I am supprised to find that Bemba language, which is spoken far south from Rwanda, has more similarities with Kinyarwanda than Luganda though Banyarwanda and Baganda are neighbors. In as far as the words you have mentioned are concerned!

Thanks madam for this content. I wish u cld give us a small background to these tribes for instance we are told the Bemba broke away from Buganda kingdom by a renegade king called Bemba musota I have listened to some of their music there's alot of similarity with Luganda language

We du have mpumude and mpumule in Luganda also. Meaning, I have rested and should I rest ?

In shona…!! chifuva = chest, nyama, meat tsvaga: search, kutema: to break, meso: eyes, rima: dig, muramu: brother/sister in law, chinhu: thing, pimha: measure, chekurya or chekudya: something to eat, imbwa: dog, chiroto: dream, inwa: drink, mvuu: hippo, mwana: child, muswe: tail, mbudzi: goat, mukanwa: mouth, kuimba: to sing, rurimi: language or tongue, kuseka: to laugh, ruseko or chiseko: laughter, muviri: body,

Am a musoga we hosted some people from Zambia but i was surprised that in two days they didn't need a translator

I'm a native speaker of Bemba and I have recognized most of Bantu Languages are very similar in sounds, words, meaning.We should melt ourselves in Swahili language as an Afrikan official language.

Oshindonga (a language in northern Namibia): ongombe (an ox/ cow), ongwe (leopard), ombwa (dog). Other words: onkanga (guinea fowl), omboga (a egetable), onyama (meat), omayi (eggs), onguluwe (warthog), owoya (mushroom), uusiku (night), esiku (day), omvula (rain or year), imba (sing), ondjimbo (song), olwiimbo (music), omeho (eyes), omutima (heart), omatako (buttocks), omutse (head), omulilo (fire), nyoko (your mother), yina (his/ her mother), meme (my mother), tate (my father), ho (your father, he (his/her father), lya (eat), nwa (drink), pangela (fix/ repair), pangulula (dismantle), faathana (resemble), omuntu (person/ human), aantu yatatu, omukadhi (female person), onkadhi (female animal). (three people). [nouns mostly start with an "o"]

That's why we are called bantus we are many, many words in common with the same meanings

We are brothers 😢

Gyebale ko/Habari/Barka/Hibwe/Báwo ni / I have a question, what's the meaning of kiloto in Luganda? I couldn't get it.

I'm a Zambian and will comment before watching the whole video. I lived in Uganda back in the 80's , Whilst living in Kampala, I found out that some words in Bemba language like umumana which means a river was and insult in luganda. Even greetings in Luganda sounded like insults in Bemba. Napita naya mukwai!!

Ingila in Luganda is also the same Ingila in Bemba. Ingileni is when you are inviting adults or a group to enter

Kiswahili ni kibantu kwa sababu pia kimekusanya maneno mengi kutoka lugha za makabila mbalimbali ya baadhi ya nchi za kusini mwa jangwa la sahara,kama vile kishona,kibhemba kinyamwanga,kindali,kinyiha kisukuma kinyakyusa,kichaga na makabila mengineyo,so we are sharing the same culture and all these tribe language contributed much to growth and rise of Swahili language.

So many of these are almost identical to Kinyarwanda wow: injira, ikintu, inyama, kunywa, gusanga (both meanings as in Luganda), imbwa, icyokurya, imvubu, igisenge for us is a roof, umutwe, umwana, nyina, nyoko, pima, inkoko, ururimi, kugura, guseka, imyaka, umubiri,…

As a Ugandan I always wondered why General Ozzy's songs from Zambia were popular in Uganda. Now I see why.

from which country are you................i realize your pronunciation is similar to almost that our people here thanks for the love #lovefromuganda,tooro.

Just like in all Bantu languages of Uganda Nyanja means a big water body/ lake. I visited Lusaka and was hearing everything,which shocked the locals😂😂😂😂😂. 'Oburwaire' in my local language Rutooro, Western Uganda 🇺🇬 means 'sickness' and in Bemba sickness is 'Bulwele' . I am shocked 😅😅😅😅. A Ugandan fluent in Kiswahili( me), can hear 75 percent of Nyanja and Bemba of beautiful Zambia🇿🇲 my second African home ❤. Thanks dear sis Suzanne ❤

Mulamu is inlaw in bemba also. That is to address a brither or sister of our spouse

So many similarities to shona!

Susan, you are our cousins really.

One day i would like to go to Zambia insha'Allah

Hi Susan, Thank you so much for enlightening souls by confirming that we are brothers and sisters and reminding us that the frontiers imposed to us are "USELESS". I loved your video and I am going to add my cent. All the words you spoke in Luganda and Bemba are found in Kinyarwanda (spoken in Rwanda). Who says Kinyarwanda also says Kirundi (from Burundi) since these are twin cultures. To all who will visit your channels, I add the following ================================= Luganda or Bemba || Kinyarwanda (k/rda)|| ================================= - Linso || Ijisho (eye) - humura (don't worry, do not panic!) - Kodi || hodi - Nyoko (in k/rda it is your mum) - Nyina (His / Her mum) - Muyembe || umwembe (mango in k/rda) - Lima || Kurima (to cultivate) - Kyibiliti || ikibiliti - kyakulya || icyakula in k/rda (coming from swahili cakula) - tema || gutema (here the ku in k/rda express the verb in infinitive) - leeka || reka (don't in k/rda) - mulamu || muramu (brother or sister in-law) - kyintu || ikintu - pima || gupima (to measure, again with gu for infinitive) - sanga || gusanga - nyama || inyama - mutima || umutima - yingila || ku-injira ==>kwinjira - embwa || imbwa - kyiloto || kurota - nwa || kunywa (to drink) - tonya || igitonyanga (a drop) - mbata || imbata - vubu || imvubu (hippo) - kutwi || ugutwi - mutwe || umutwe - mwana || umwana - mukanwa || akanwa - inkoko in k/rda means chicken - kayimba || kuririmba (to sing) , indirimbo (a song) - lulimi || ururimi - kugula || kugura - kuseka || guseka - seko || inseko (a smile or a laughter) - myaka || imyaka (years ) - malaika || malayika - mubili || umubiri - epeela || ipera - musalaba || umusaraba - umupira in k/rda means ball -pangurura || gupangura - olwala || urwara Thanks again for your dedication. I will try my best to watch all your videos Alexis

Heyy can you please do Similarities between Luganda and IsiNdebele cause I came to find out Ndebele and Luganda sou d so similar and I found out recently my mums friend Is not shona she's Ndebele

Hi there it's almost the same words in Kinyarwanda 🥰 i-nyama = meat i-jisho = eye humura = calm down Nyoko/Nyina = mother mulamu = in-law imbwa= dog kunwa= drink imbata= duck umutwe= head umwana = child Kuleka = to leave Umulima = land to cultivate iMvubu = hippopottumus Inkoko= chicken ulurimi= language umwaka/imyaka = year / ages/ years icyibiliti = match sticks mukanwa= in the mouth umutima = 💖 i stop here because 97% are same words 😍

"Bemba's "bulwele" sounds more like the Runyankore which is "burwaire" which means sickness

In Bemba we say Odi or odini not kodi. But i appreciate the similarities

Good intention. Though, some words are not quite correct. "Kodi" is actually "odi" in Bemba. And some words are Nyanja and not Bemba.

I just heard Nswa is similar aswel

Hi am S.African Muvenda...All the languages you are exploring..stems and all I CAN UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING..MIGRATION BROUGHT ABOUT THE SLIGHT,TONAL VARIATION..PLZ GET A PARING OF TSHIVENDA AND OTHER GREAT LAKES REGIONS

Spot on mulamu😂

The similarity is not between Luganda and Bemba. It is between Luganda and Tonga. The Bemba are from DRC, in the Luba Empire. The Tonga and the Namwanga are from the Great Lakes region in the area of Uganda and Kenya. The Tonga, Namwanga and the BaGanda share the same nomenclature. The names have the same form. The Tonga call a man Musankwa, the baGanda say Musajja, while the Bemba say Umwaume. I know Bemba very well, having grown on the Copperbelt. I also am a Tonga, and so I am in a better position to compare. Bemba is close to LuGanda because all Bantu languages are close. However, when you look at the particularities of a language, Tonga and LuGanda are much closer together than Bemba is to LuGanda. In the arts, Tonga drums are unique in Zambia for not being modulated with wax. The Bemba, the Lozi, the Chewa and Luvale etc all wax the center of the drum head in order. The popular Tonga dance, Chin'gande is almost identical to baTo'ro dance, Urunyege Ntogoro, etc

Now kiswahili is the Best General language of all those Bantu speakers, I think it becomes very easy

Let’s come up with common Bantu language?

Bantu langages in cameroon Nyama = meat in Duala Nuga= meat in bassa'a Dis / mis= eye(s) in bassa'a Man= child in bassa'a Nyo = to drink in bassa'a

Word For sickness in Luganda is similar to that of the Lobedu language of south Africa

Even in Luganda u can use c for ky

In Kiwanga of Mumias Kenya in law we say mulamwa

All the words sound similar to shona

There's a lot of Kikuyu there

Before I die I want to visit Zambia and Zimbabwe

It's similar to Kisukuma

In Kikamba, Kenya, the similar ones are nyama, yiitho(eye), thyumua(rest), oti, nyinya, eka, ima, kindu, thima, iembe, kiliviti, kya kuya, tema, nywa, mbata, kutu, mutwe, Mwana, Mbui, kanywa, nguku, uimi, kuua, kutheka, itheka, miaka, muulaika, musivi, mwii, ivela, musalava, muvila, muswaki

All bantu language share alot of similarities.

Almost the same as my luganda

Bemba word Ba mulamu inlaw Cintu things Pima measures Muyembe or myembe mango Cibiliti matchbox Tema cut Yakulilamo Place to eat Imfubu hippo Imbushi goat Ukwimba sing Every thing correct

Nswa and nswa......for white ants are the same as well

In Kikuyu mother of is also nyina wa😂

Yes Mulamu is inlaw in Bemba

Also uganda 🇺🇬 and Zambia 🇿🇲 all words are the same

Nyoko - Luganda Noko - Bemba But Nyina is the same in both

In Shona Zimbabwe kuseka means laughing

In Luganda "chi" is just Ki NOT Kyi in writing but in sound it is kyi.

In luhya in law is mulamwa very close

In Bukusu rest means khulukha it sounds similar I see

Similarities I Luhya of Kenya. 1. Shilifu 2. Khaba 3. Inyama 4. Murima 5.yinjili 6. Khuhulukha 7. Hoti 8. Nyina 9. Lekha 10. Lima 11. Mulamwa 12. Shindu 13. Pima 14. Lihembe 15. Shiviriti 16.

Chichewa language in Malawi

Bemba was once a kabaka(king) in Buganda

Ndebele =Lima =cultivate

Shona=chipfuva=chikosoro=cough

Thank you soo much .Please can you also compare for me a language called Luziba from Tanzania with Lunyoro / Lutooro from Western uganda

Sorry but malaika is neither bhemba nor ganda, it's arabic
