Luganda is one of the major languages of Uganda and competes in the country with English and Swahili for breadth of use. It’s is a Bantu language, a family of languages that covers almost all of sub-Saharan Africa. Considering the size of the language family it would be nice to give a more specific branch but the internal genealogical structure of the bantu languages is a bit of a mess for modern topologists. Luganda could be classified as “Great Lakes Bantu”, “Northeast Bantu” or even “Zone J Bantu”
Like most Bantu languages, Luganda has roughly ten grammatical genders, verbs that agree with subject and object, and is tonal, though it only has three tones; high, falling, and low.
If you’re wondering if the “ganda” part of Luganda and Uganda are related, you’re correct! The “Lu” in Luganda is a case marker and “ganda” is an ethonym (name for an ethnic group). A single member of the “ganda” ethnic group is a “muganda”, taking the case normally associated with people. To refer to the people as a whole you pluralize it to “baganda”. The country of these people? Easy, just swap genders to “Buganda”, which is a kingdom within the modern country of Uganda and its namesake.
Heres the thing you gotta understand about statistics.
“Increases your chances by 80%” does not mean “there is now an 80% chance”.
If your chances were previously 10%, your chances are now 18%, not 90%.
if your chances were roughly 1%, they’re now just slightly less than 2%.
thats how that works.
Wow I don’t understand math at all
‘if you have a baby after 35, the chance of deformities goes up by 100%’ is a line I hear alot.
It goes up from .5% to 1%
It’s TRUE and you should say it. There is a lot of scare-mongering about fertility after 35 and there’s a lot of reasons for that but most of it is blown completely out of proportion.
