Ruanda definition of Ruanda in the Free Online Encyclopedia.

Ruanda

(also Urunyarwanda), the language of the Ruanda (Banyaruanda), spoken by more than 5 million persons (1967, estimate) in the republics of Rwanda and Burundi, the eastern regions of the Republic of Zaire, and the northwestern regions of Uganda and Tanzania.

Ruanda belongs to the northern zone of the Bantu language family. It is characterized by the presence of three distinctive tones and by dissimilation of identical consonant phonemes and loss and fusion of vowel phonemes across morpheme boundaries. The grammatical structure is characterized by the presence of 19 concord classes, with prefixed markers, and by a well-developed system of derivative verbal (mainly voice) suffixes. Categories of tense and aspect are expressed by means of infixed morphemes.
