That is a whole book of new words in Kifuuliru you have outline, Ps. Nyangela. Thank you! And indeed, most of these words are similar to our Kenyan Luhya language. I can understand most of them. Historically, Bantus (of Kenya) are said to have migrated from the Congo Basin. It all makes sense now. By the way, how big is Kifuuliru language? Is it widely spoken in Congo?
Fellows Doreen's chanel subscribers I would like to let you know that a Kifuliiru speaker can communicate easily with people who speak Kirundi, Kinyarwanda, Luganda, Chinyanja, Mashi , Kinyindu, Kiha , Luhya etc....
It is true, all the Bantu come from one ancestor. Therefore the similarities in speech. Eg, Our luganda, Lusoga, Lugishu Lingala, Tshiluba, etc, are very similar In luganda, we say 'Ekitabo kyange' is the same in about 10 languages
Hi, in IsiZulu clothes---izingubo, to come IsiZulu--ukuza or you can say--- iza, Child inIsiZulu---Ingane, a person---umuntu--group of people---Abantu abaningi, Today--namuhla, Soil--inhlabathi/isihlabathi, rain--imvula, Book-incwadi, eat-indla, Food--ukudla, I am hungry---ngilambile,

I have always thought that Caucasians got most of their words from Egypt , hidden knowledge. But I have always thought the French monde is from Bantu for person, and the word Bantu seems to be "A GROUP OF YOU I.e. people in French BanTu.
😂😂😂 I thought it was only us Zulus who had issue with "R" we actually don't have "R" & we pronounce "L" instead and now seeing other languages 😂 singabandawonye(we are from one/same place)
In the Sesotho language from South Africa Diaparo - clothes. Diaparo comes from apara ,to wear clothes. Rwala is to wear a hat , shoes and gloves. Ngwana - child Motho - person Kajeno - today Pula - rain Pula e yana - it is raining Ho ja - to eat

The connection between our languages is beyond amazing. If we had real leaders of the people. We could create a kind of United states of African.
These similarities tell the story of how we the Bantu evolved indeed. Keep it up girl
Oh my God am Gishu from Uganda, i understand Luhya but it feels i can understand Bemba so well
It is true, all the Bantu come from one ancestor. Therefore the similarities in speech. Eg, Our luganda, Lusoga, Lugishu Lingala, Tshiluba, etc, are very similar

In luhya; ise ndi nenzara , or esie ndinenjala . A person born during a time of hunger is ' named Wanjala or Wanzala - male , Nanjala / Nanzala -female

Hello Bemba and Bembe people !
The Ababemba live in Zambia and others in Congo DRC.
The Babembe live in Congo DRC and in Tanzania.
I noticed some similarities between the two languages.
For examples:
1) Bemba 2) Bembe
Woman is mukashana muachana
Child is mwana .. mwana
People is bantu batu
Your fellow is munobe munobe
I go is naya naaya
Grandpa is bashikulu shiulu
To eat kulya ilya
You should also compare the Luhya language and the ILA launguage of Zambia
Hello my beautiful sister ❤
Hello 😊
The bemba speak very close to Luhya Wanga as well.
I noticed that. You're very right
I also noticed that
IN VENDA(south africa)
clothes= zwiambaro/nguvho
to come=uda/ida/idani
child=nwana
person =muthu /Vhathu(people)/vhathu vhanzhi(many people)
today=Namusi/duvha
soil=mavu/mutavha
rain =mvula (mvula ikhouna-it is raining)
book=bugu
eat=ula
food=zwiliwa
i am hungry=ndina ndala
😊..I think VENDA and SHONA are brother and sister.
@@DanteL007 true from the same pot: venda ,shona ,tjikalanga,kalanga ,kilobedu,
It is raining
You can say infula ileloka
Clothes in Luwanga is called tsingubo or eshifwali
Bemba and luhya are similar actually 68% . They talk like wanyore
Yes Patrick, the Abanyole speak like this
Any Zambian in the house?
I have always thought that Caucasians got most of their words from Egypt , hidden knowledge.
But I have always thought the French monde is from Bantu for person, and the word Bantu seems to be "A GROUP OF YOU I.e. people in French BanTu.
They are similar
My book
Is ichitabo chandi
In Luwanga, hunger is also inzala similar to Lumarachi
Rain in shona is mvura
Okhufwala means to wear or dress up
In Luwanga, book is eshitabo
omundu person
aandu oyendji many people
A child in shona is mwana
Umwana same Maragoli ❤
Actually, I noticed Maragoli is the closest
In kimeru Kenya is ija. Child is mwana. Person is muntu.
Actually the word should be lelo in luhya but pronounced as lero because in luhya vocabulary "r" means "l"
Isukha say lelo for leo, today
Ooh yes! 😊. Some say it the exact way "lelo" while others say rero or lero
😂😂😂 I thought it was only us Zulus who had issue with "R" we actually don't have "R" & we pronounce "L" instead and now seeing other languages 😂 singabandawonye(we are from one/same place)
Luhya language is close or similar with isizulu words.how came😮😮😮😅😅
Eat in shona is idya.
😂🎉 umuntu in isiZulu is umuntu
In isiZulu is ingubo😅
Isukha today is lelo
Kumbe the Isukha use the "L." I have also heard some Wangas say lelo
In shona clothes is nguvo.
@@forbeschiromo1347 Or, hembe or zvipfeko..😊
Imfula ileloka
Kwetu Kirundi,ni igitabo
Ooh nice! Almost like Maragoli.
Luhya and Lugishu is same
Hi Isaiah. You are correct. I tend to understand 80 % of Lugisu. It's the intonation that is different.
The Bemba are Marachi's. Nabamachi
Yes Austine, ushasema kabisa. Though there are words that surprised me. Completely different!😊
@@luhyalanguageandculture Is normal. Likondi nende likhesi, ingombe ikhafu, mabere,Kamayemba. All Luhyas in western. Dont worry about the Bemba
In the Sesotho language from South Africa
Diaparo - clothes. Diaparo comes from apara ,to wear clothes. Rwala is to wear a hat , shoes and gloves.
Ngwana - child
Motho - person
Kajeno - today
Pula - rain
