Kinyarwanda (Ikinyarwanda) is a Bantu language native to Rwanda and parts of Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with around 13 million speakers. It is mutually intelligible with Kirundi, the national language of Burundi — together they form the Rwanda-Rundi dialect cluster. Rwanda's constitution makes it one of four official languages alongside English, French and Swahili.
Kinyarwanda uses 16 active noun classes (i-, ba-, umu-, aba-, iki-, ibi-...) that trigger agreement throughout the clause. Verb forms are highly agglutinative — a single word can express subject, object, tense, aspect, mood and politeness. The language is tonal, with high and low tones distinguishing words like umugóre 'wife' from umugore 'woman'. LingoBear lets you see these in real text.
