About Kinyarwanda
Kinyarwanda is a Bantu language, spoken with about 20 million speakers. They live mainly in Rwanda, where Kinyarwanda is the national language along with French and English. It is also spoken in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. Kinyarwanda is closely related to Kirundi, which is spoken in Burundi and Tanzania.
Did you know Indiana’s second largest immigrant and refugee population (They are from Dem. Republic of Congo) are Kinyarwanda speakers? That IU has long-standing connections with people and institutions in Rwanda through the award-winning, student-led program Books & Beyond, as well as through curriculum-linked courses, and study abroad?
