Katanga Province - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Katanga is the southern province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, regional capital Lubumbashi (formerly Elizabethville in French, Elisabethstad in Dutch). The Luba people often interfered with their mining operations in the province, and many were killed in raids on mining operations. In January 1961 northern Katanga was invaded by the Congolese government, and in response the UN sent in 'peacekeeping' forces, authorised in February 1961 by the Security Council to use force in self-defence. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Katanga   (940 words)

Democratic Republic of the Congo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Luba established a strong commercial demand for their metal technologies and were able to institute a long-range commercial net (the business connections extended over 1,500 kilometres (930 mi), all the way to the Indian Ocean). Although seven hundred local languages and dialects are spoken, the linguistic variety is bridged both by the use of French and the intermediary languages Kongo, Tshiluba, Swahili, and Lingala. Lingala was made the official language of the army under Mobutu, but since the rebellions, the army also uses Swahili in the West. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Democratic_Republic_of_the_Congo   (4898 words)

Manually Coded Language Manually Coded Language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) Unlike the sign language s that have evolved naturally in Deaf community, which have distinct spatial grammars, Manually Coded Languages are the invention of Hearing (person), and follow the grammar of the spoken language — or, more precisely, of the written form of the spoken language. Sign language linguists ususally make a distinction between these auxiliary sign language s and Manually Coded Languages; the latter are specifically designed for use in Deaf education, and usually represent the written form of the language. While the Deaf community already used a sign language (now known as Old French Sign Language), Épée thought it must be primitive, and set about designing a complete visual-gestural system to represent the concepts of religion and law that he wanted to impart to his pupils. manually.coded.language.en.reee.org   (1845 words)

Top20DemocraticRepublicoftheCongo.com - Your Top20 Guide to Democratic Republic of the Congo! The Luba established a strong commercial demand for their metal technologies and were able to institute a primitive but long-range commercial net (the business connections extended over 1500 km, all the way to the Indian Ocean). The name “Kuba” is derived from the term used by the Luba (whose kingdom lay to the south of the Kuba) for the civilization.Because of its relative remoteness in the southern Congo, Kuba was largely spared the turmoil of both European and Afroaraber slave trades. Although 700 local languages and dialects are spoken, the linguistic variety is bridged both by the use of French and the intermediary languages Kikongo, Tshiluba, Swahili, and Lingala. www.top20democraticrepublicofthecongo.com   (4970 words)
