	Empandiika y'Oluganda
		It was therefore necessary to undertake a serious study of the sounds in the Luganda language in order to be able to formulate a proper phonetic system that would help in transferring the sound of words into proper alphabetical symbols that would be meaningful in written form.
		The first writers however, were faced with a problem since many of them were not linguists and the Luganda language was starkly different, without any linguistic similarity with their mother tongues.
		But a rule in spelling Luganda words calls for the use of the letter 'r' immediately following the vowels 'e' and 'i', whereas the letter 'l' is to be used in all other instances calling for the corresponding sound.

		By all means let our children learn all the languages of the world, but foremost, learn the language they can communicate in with their natural parents and people native to them as this is their foundation in being able to grasp the grammar in all others.
		Swahili is the nationally recognised language in Kenya (given further glory by the seal of the english monarch), but you still find kenyans proud to speak their own other indigenous languages amongst themselves.
		In so far as Oloya's appeals that Luganda not be spoken in offices/business (though it's not good to generalise), I think this is due to lack of professional etiquette and discernment by given individuals and what some might call uncivil attitudes.

		A translation of the Bible into their language, Ganda (Luganda), was launched as long ago as 1897 and played a key role in bringing Christianity not only to their region, Buganda Province, but to the country as a whole.
		Over the years, however, it became clear that the original Luganda Bible, although influential, was flawed in certain ways.
		While warmly welcoming the fact that a modern, understandable Bible is now available to Luganda speakers, Mr Kalule also reminded those who attended the launch ceremony that translation remains a significant task.
