Pick a tribe, any tribe

One day last week I was sitting next to my friend Isaac, when my friend Henry came up and asked me if I was a Mukiga (Muchiga?  that’s how it’s pronounced, and ‘k’ is often pronounced ‘ch’); a member of his tribe, from Western Uganda.  Isaac answered no, I’m a Muganda (from central Uganda).  Henry looked surprised and said, “Oh!  Have they claimed you already?”

So, now I reckon I’m half English, half, German, and half Muganda.  Sadly, my Luganda hasn’t progressed much this semester, so I’m slacking.

And since it gets confusing:  the tribe is Buganda, a person in the Buganda tribe is a Muganda, and the language is Luganda.  That’s a general format, though not consistent across the board, which is a lot like English.
