Oh my God am Gishu from Uganda, i understand Luhya but it feels i can understand Bemba so well

The connection between our languages is beyond amazing. If we had real leaders of the people. We could create a kind of United states of African.

Hi, in IsiZulu clothes---izingubo, to come IsiZulu--ukuza or you can say--- iza, Child inIsiZulu---Ingane, a person---umuntu--group of people---Abantu abaningi, Today--namuhla, Soil--inhlabathi/isihlabathi, rain--imvula, Book-incwadi, eat-indla, Food--ukudla, I am hungry---ngilambile,

We need more research and studies to find out who we really are, where we come from. The love we so lack between us, can start from there! Thank you.

Almost all of them same as ZuLu

These similarities tell the story of how we the Bantu evolved indeed. Keep it up girl
