John Goldsmith and Firmard Sabimana

"In this paper we will present an analysis of the tonal rules and some of the morphology involved in the Kirundi verb. (fn. 1) Kirundi is a Bantu language, classified by Guthrie as being in the D group, and reclassified as J by the Tervuren Bantuists, a group of languages in the region generally south of Lake Victoria. It is the major language of Burundi, and is closely related to Kinyarwanda. There are between four and five million speakers of Kirundi."
