HISTORY

This unique dictionary is particularly known for the deep cultural insight it provides to many Kirundi terms and has been for many years THE reference work for Kirundi. Written already back in 1969 by Elizabeth "Betty" Ellen Cox, it has now been thouroughly revised, adapted to present-day Kirundi orthography rules and hundreds of new words or meanings have been added.

Kirundi is an African Bantu language spoken by nearly 30.000.000 people in Burundi, Rwanda (there known as Kinyarwanda), Tanzania and the DR Congo.
