Lugwere

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lugwere is the language spoken by the Bagwere, a Bantu people found in the eastern part of Uganda. It has a close dialectical resemblance to Lusoga, Lulamogi and Luganda, all languages spoken by tribes neighbhouring the Bagwere.

Interestingly, Lugwere though closest in dialect to its eastern neighbhours, also has many words similar to those used by tribes from the western part of Uganda. For example musaiza for A man, resembles mushiiza used by the western languages to mean the same thing.

Also, the Baruli, a tribe that lives in central Uganda and not neighbhouring the Bagwere at all, speak a language that has almost the exact words used in Lugwere, but adopts a very different pronunciation.
