It belongs to the Bantu branch of the Niger-Congo language family. With about six million first-language speakers in the Buganda region and about four million others with a working knowledge, it is the most widely spoken Ugandan language, and as second language in Uganda is next to English. The language is used in some primary schools in Buganda as pupils begin to learn English, the official language of Uganda. Until the 1960s Luganda was also the official language of instruction in Primary schools in Eastern Uganda. Luganda is a Bantu language that is spoken as a first or as a second language by a large portion of the people of Uganda. This course contains a collection of materials that can be useful in the interaction between teachers and students. The course is divided into a series of lessons, the contents of which vary. Many include dialogs and optional vocabulary. The overall emphasis of this course is on a series of grammatical points that are introduced. The Luganda material and its authenticity have been the responsibility of Frederick K. Kamoga of Makerere University, who also contributed the kinship charts; the tonal analysis is the work of Earl W. Stevick of the Foreign Service Institute; responsibility for all other matters has been shared by the authors. A number of specific suggestions, and certain supplementary materials, were contributed by George W. R. Kalule, who had directed a staff of teachers in use of a preliminary version at Columbia University. Rebecca Kiziri and John H. Kizito assisted in originating the dialogs
