(Olunya)Nkore   964...
"Nkore (to which the speakers attach the prefix Olunya, meaning
‘language’) is spoken by more than half a million people east of
Lake Edward, in Western Province of Uganda.   ‘Class’ dialects
can be noted in the Nkore usage: the Hima, or upper class,
idiom is different from that employed by the Iru, or lower class.
Nkore is a Bantu tongue, closely related to Kiga.   Scriptures have
been produced which accommodate speakers of both tongues.
(See OlunyaNkore-Kiga Union.)"
