Runyankole/Runyankore is the language of SW Uganda

I have compiled this manual because I found almost no resources for volunteers and their partners who wished to gain some competency in using the Runyankole language.  This language is also called Runyankore and is also nearly identical to the Rukiga language with a few changes including spelling and pronunciation. 

I have combined the following in one pdf file.

• [Personal Lesson Notes]  Notes I have taken from lessons with the Bishop Stuart PTC nurse, Catherine
• [Peace Corps Manual]  A manual written for Peace Corps volunteers.  A copy of the original manual was discovered in the VSO library.  It appears to be quite dated but this shouldn’t affect the accuracy. However, I can’t vouch for its complete accuracy, especially the spelling of words in Runyankole.  I have chosen the sections I thought would be helpful.

This file is separate:

• [Runyankole Lessons VSO]  The handout given to VSO volunteers at In Country Training.  Since I wasn’t able to attend ICT1 I have no notes and can’t expand on or explain some of the notes.

The audio and the the guide for it are two files:

•   [Audio guide] I recorded our language tutor pronouncing some basic greetings and other commonly used words.  This guide follows the audio file which is a separate file.
