Luganda is a Bantu language spoken in central Uganda, the language of the Baganda people and of the Buganda kingdom, whose territory includes the capital, Kampala. Native speakers are estimated at over five million, and several million more use Luganda as a second language, making it the most widely spoken Ugandan language even though English and Swahili hold official status nationally. It is a tonal language with the noun-class grammar characteristic of Bantu languages, and it distinguishes long and short vowels and consonants in ways that change meaning. Luganda is written in the Latin alphabet and appears daily in Ugandan newspapers, radio broadcasting and popular music.
