Rukiga (also called Lukiga or Chiga or Kiga) is closely related to the Runyankole language spoken by the Banyankore, Banyakole or Ankole as the people are also known. Rukiga, the native language of the people of Bakiga, developed over the centuries as a spoken language. It was in the second half of the nineteenth century that Rukiga was first written down and appeared in print in its own right. Rukiga is a very similar language to Runyankore.

  • Rukiga (also called Lukiga or Chiga or Kiga) is closely related to the Runyankole language spoken by the Banyankore, Banyakole or Ankole as the people are also known. Rukiga, the native language of the people of Bakiga, developed over the centuries as a spoken language. It was in the second half of the nineteenth century that Rukiga was first written down and appeared in print in its own right. Rukiga is a very similar language to Runyankore. Runyankore is the language of the people of Ankole or Ankore that is why dictionaries, show both languages. Although many of the words are the same, or similar, there are differences. In common with other Bantu languages, Lukiga/Rukiga has a noun class system in which prefixes on nouns mark membership of one of the noun genders. Pronouns, adjectives, and verbs reflect the noun gender of the nominal they refer to. Some examples of noun classes: mu - person (singular), e.g. omukiga = inhabitant of ABakiga land bu - land, e.g. Bukiga = land of the Bakiga lu/ru - language, e.g. Lukiga/Rukiga = language of the Bakiga ba - people, e.g. Bakiga = The Bakiga people ki - customs or traditions, e.g. kikiga, (sometimes pronounced) Kichiga, or Chiciga describes religious tradition common to the Bakiga people. Sometimes the people are called Chiga by people not understanding the linguistic rules in relation to the prefixes.
  • A língua rukiga (também chamada lukiga ou chiga) é uma língua africana intimamente relacionada ao runyankole falado pelos povos banyankore, banyakole ou ankole, como são conhecidos. Rukiga, a língua nativa do povo bakiga, desenvolveu-se no decorrer dos séculos como uma língua oral. Foi na segunda metade do século dezenove que o rukiga passou a ser uma língua escrita, os primeiros materiais impressos em rukiga também datam dessa época. O rukiga é muito similar ao runyankore. Runyankore é a língua do povo ankole, por isso os dicionários apresentam apenas um verbete para ambas as línguas. Apesar da grande semelhança lexical, há diferenças. Em comum com as outras línguas bantus, o lukiga/rukiga possui um sistema de classes substantivas no qual o gênero é indicado por prefixos. Pronomes, adjetivos, e verbos refletem o gênero do substantivo aos quais se referem. Alguns exemplos de classes substantivas: mu - pessoa, e.g. mukiga = habitante da terra dos bakiga bu - terra, e. g Bukiga = terra dos bakiga lu/ru - língua, e.g. lukiga/rukiga = língua dos bakiga ba - povo, e.g. bakiga = o povo bakiga ki – costumes e tradições, e.g. kikiga, (às vezes pronunciado) kichiga, ou chiciga descreve a religião e os costumes comuns ao povo bakiga. Às vezes os bakiga são chamados de chiga por povos que não entendem as regras lingüísticas em relação aos prefixos.
