Nkore (also called Nyankore, Nyankole, Nkole, Orunyankore, Orunyankole, Runyankore, and Runyankole) is a Bantu language spoken
by the Nkore (Banyankore) and Hema peoples of Southwestern Uganda in the former province of Ankole. There are approximately
2,330,000 native speakers, mainly found in the Mbarara, Bushenyi, Ntungamo, Kiruhura, Ibanda, Isingiro, and Rukungiri districts.
Runyankole is part of an East and central African language variously spoken by the Nkore, Kiga, Nyoro, and Tooro people in
Uganda; the Nyambo, Ha and Haya in Tanzania; as well as some ethnic groups in the Congo region, Burundi and Rwanda. They were
part of the Bunyoro-Kitara Kingdom of the 14-16th centuries. There is a brief description and teaching guide for this language,
written by Charles Taylor in the 1950s, and an adequate dictionary in print. Whilst this language is spoken by almost all
the Ugandans in the region, most also speak English, especially in the towns. English is the official language, and the language
taught in schools. Nkore is so similar to Kiga (84%–94% lexical similarity) that some argue they are dialects of the same
language, a language called Nkore-Kiga by Charles Taylor. |
