In Uganda the most spoken local language is Luganda as the Baganda tribe occupies the southern central part of Uganda and the capital city of the country, followed by English (also the official language since 1962), as all schools in Uganda use it in their studies due to the introduction of English during the colonial period. English is also the language of business and judicial matters. Most spoken after Luganda and English is Swahili. This language is more common in neighbouring Kenya and Tanzania. Swahili is taught in schools as an optional additional language and it is mostly spoken by the Ugandan army. In 2005, there were talks to include Swahili into as the second official language as it was seen as neutral, however this is still not ratified by the government.

  • L'Ouganda a pour langues officielles l'anglais et secondairement le swahili, mais de nombreuses autres langues sont parlées sur son territoire. Elles appartiennent aux familles des langues bantoues (dont relève également le swahili), nilotiques, soudaniques centrales et kuliak. Il existe également une langue des signes ougandaise. (fr)

  • Уганда — многоязычная страна (41 язык). Сорок её живых языков можно разделить на три главные языковые семьи: банту, нилотскую и центральносуданскую с двумя другими в кульякской семье. Английский язык, унаследованный от колониального периода, и суахили, который имеет региональное значение, являются официальными языками. Существует также угандийский жестовый язык. В Центральной и Южной Уганде языки банту луганда и сога имеют в значительной степени взаимопонятность. (ru)
