‎ Gwere, or Lugwere, is the language spoken by the Gwere people (Bagwere), a Bantu people found in the eastern part of Uganda. It has a close dialectical resemblance to Soga and Ganda, which neighbhour the Gwere. Interestingly, Gwere though closest in dialect to its eastern neighbhours, also has many words similar to those used by tribes from the western part of Uganda. For example musaiza for A man, resembles mushiiza used by the western languages to mean the same thing.
