About Kirundi

Kirundi (also written Rundi) is a Bantu language spoken by some 6 million people in Burundi and adjacent parts of Tanzania and Congo-Kinshasa, as well as in Uganda. 84% of the speakers are Hutu, 15% are Tutsi and 1% are Twa. Kirundi is closely related to Kinyarwanda, the main language of neighbouring country Rwanda and to Giha, a language spoken in western Tanzania. Kirundi and Kinyarwanda are mutually intelligible.  From "Kirundi", Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirundi, 12/8/06, available under the terms of the GFDL
