Part 1: Luhya (of Kenya) Vs. Luganda (of Uganda) | African Languages Comparison 

What is a widower called in Luhya?

@@ambalelionel5506 I haven't interacted with that vocabulary so much. Although a widow is referred to as "Mama Mulekhwa"

You right a widow is Mulekhwa but a widower seems to have no Luhya term so far

Ooh I know why! It's because there was no widower in traditional Luhya. Hehe. When your wife dies, you remarry like almost immediately. In fact you're given a new wife on the burial day in some cases.

Yes that's it now you right

You’re write cuz Ingwe in Zulu means leopard and luhya too

Especially Maragoli lingo.

My cousin got married to a Zulu girl and she has mastered 70% of Luyha (isukha) because of the similarities

How nice to have a Marachi sister on board. I am so happy that you are A nambengere🥰. Thank you for coming. My day is made

I have heard tsisasaba among the kisa. I don't know whether they still use it. Some Samias use musafu

No😂😂 Baganda were never a Luyia sub tribe, historical Luhya sub tribes in Uganda stop in the East near the border of Luhya land Kenya

Thank you😊

I have a friend who is a Soga and she has told me that severally. So interesting. Does Kikuyu share some words with Soga?

Oh thanks for the question. All Bantus have words that are similar and Kikuyu is no exception. Mutwe for instance means head in Kikuyu, lusoga and other luhya tribes.

I am a muganda and munyoro and I love basoga and bamasaba❤️ greetings

Webale mukwano wange. I hope I got that right😄

​@luhyalanguageandculture it's gwange😂 you soon getting them all right

@@rappermokas8434 oops! Gwange not kwange. Now I won't get it wrong next time😀

Wow! Thank you for the ranking. What is your proficiency level in speaking Luganda?

I'm pretty good at Luganda now because I take notes and I practice the pronunciations. I still have a lot to learn of course but this is one language I haven't given up on. Side note: Marachi does have similarities with Luganda as you said.

@@LordMarkieMark I agree, writing down and practicing does help a lot when it comes to learning a new language. And it becomes more manageable when you live among the people who speak that language

This comes as a surprise to me for sure! I had no idea that there is a section of Tanzanians who speak Luganda. Indeed all these language are more similar than different. I should do more research on that. Sounds more interesting.

​@@luhyalanguageandculturekaribu ukerewe na kagera Tanzania uone Luganda inavyofanana na kikerewe na haya tribes

@michaelobunde753 It's a must check out. That sounds like an interesting point of language comparison. I'm impressed at how language is so interconnected

​@@luhyalanguageandculturekaribu nyar Malo.wakerewe na haya ni makabila yaliyomeguka toka Uganda Yakaja Tanzania na mpaka Leo wamementain Tamaduni za Luganda ikiwemo lugha na vyakula kama sie Tz Luo tulivyomaintain Tamaduni za kutoka Luo kenya

@michaelobunde753 fascinating. I would love to understand how Luos of Kenya and those of Tanzanian are similar or different

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you for your honest rating. I am surprised at how people actually put incorrect pronunciations out here. All the Luganda words I spoke on this video, I practised with Luganda channels and websites then recorded this video to test myself. I am glad to know better.

​@@luhyalanguageandculturecan I help you out with learning luganda if you don't mind and you don't have to pay me anything I just love teaching other people my language

@@rappermokas8434 I would love that very much

Khasasaba yes. We aslo say sita.

I'm tiriki i completely don't understand kabaras, bukusu.

Thank you Juma

Thank you, Edward. I'm surely learning. I so much appreciate your keenness and willingness to correct.

Which language specifically. I love learning 😊

😅😅😅😅 in our language ndala mean another one

@@kjtkalungujuniortalented8778 That's exciting to know the diversity

Had never thought of guys. What a brilliant idea. I’m on it! Thank you.

You have attention to detail 🤣

Cleaophas, Could you please rephrase your question. I didn’t get it clearly. Coz this channel is made up of 99% Lumarachi videos as I teach the Marachi I speak. Maybe you could come explain more.

The language lessons are great @@luhyalanguageandculture

That is so interesting

Thanks for your correction. Unfortunately, maybe you're new to this channel, and I understand. On this channel, I teach the Luhya I have spoken since childhood. I do not focus on indigenous Luhya because I cannot access it, and that doesn't stop me from sharing what I know already. So, I have never used the words Shienda and Khasasaba my whole life, yet I grew up in the village. I have never heard people in my village use it either. Also, Luhya subtribes are many. Which one are you talking about? But of course, I understand your point of view.

@luhyalanguageandculture I know you have never used those words, but to be sincere with you and luhyas in general, we use swahili alot hence mix the two , but ask around, a Marama and a Marachi we only differ when sounding names with D and T , Marachi will have D sound while we Marama use T

@@alukweKopite I understand where you're coming from. And If I had reasoned like that, I would never have begun this channel. Truth, is there is a lot of content missing on this channel because of that. But I got be honest with myself, not knowing these vocabularies can't stop me from teaching people at least what I know. Language interference is true and it's not going anywhere. Look around on the Internet and show me a book or an article or even a video where someone is teaching us indigenous Luhya. Nobody. So I decided, I won't sit back and wait just because I don't speak Luhya like my grandfather. Or because I can't afford money to pay a old person in the village to teach me the indigenous Luhya. All these resources are costly to get. But what isn't costly is my own spoken Luhya that I've grown up hearing people speak in my community. As I know, one day, will also be regarded indigenous. Thank you, for bringing up this topic. It's a difficult conversation but people can't avoid it altogether.

@luhyalanguageandculture congratulations for starting the channel, And teaching people Luhya , but most luhyas lost their original language , nowadays we have a hybrid , congratulations and keep up 👏 , great work, "Lekha Khusinyikha bwan'gubwan'gu"

Thank you, Bwire. It's good to see you here again

@@luhyalanguageandculture Currently, in Busia or Uganda?

@@johnbwire7570 I didn't get your question well

are you currently in Busia or Uganda?

@@johnbwire7570 Oooh you meant that! No, I'm not. I mentioned in the video that I am in Uganda because I was tackling Luganda

Yes they are Bantus. But there are a few differences that I enjoy bringing out. Thanks for your commentary.

Your sense of humour is on a whole new level 😄
