\u201cI am sure that in this region, it\u2019s us who are worse in Kiswahili and in about a year\u2019s time, shall be able to speak to you in the Kiswahili language,\u201d Ms Kadaga said yesterday during the opening of the 2nd annual East African Court of Justice judicial conference in Kampala.<\/p>\n

In July, the Cabinet approved the implementation of the 21st East African Community Summit directive in Uganda to adopt Kiswahili as the official language. The Cabinet also approved compulsory teaching of the language in primary and secondary schools.<\/p>\n

Kiswahili, mainly spoken in the East African region, is a fusion of the dialect born of Bantu and Arabic languages. It has earned its place of pride as one of the world\u2019s top 10 most spoken languages and Africa\u2019s most widely used native language.<\/p>\n

It enjoys official status in Kenya and Tanzania and is also widely spoken in parts of DR Congo, Rwanda, and Burundi. It became the first African language to be spoken by more than 200 million people.<\/p>\n
