(Ki)Kikuyu...
"Kikuyu, or Gikuyu, is spoken by at least 1,250,000 people in
upland areas north and northeast of Nairobi, Kenya.   Renowned
as the most powerful people of northern East Africa, the
Kikuyu early in the 20th century resisted British appropriation of
lands they considered theirs.   Their continuing resentment mani-
fested itself in nationalist political movements, culminating in
the MauMau uprising of the 1950’s.   KiKikuyu is a Bantu tongue,
related to KiTharaka, KiKamba, and KiMeru."
