Runyakitara of language studies

"This book introduces a language that we call Runyakitara ... Runyakitara, as a matter of fact, is a name that was proposed in the mid-1990 by language academics in Makerere University when they were introducing the teaching of Runyoro-Rutooro and Runyankore-Rukiga as a degree-level course at that university. Runyoro-Rutooro and Runyankore-Rukiga are taught as one subject at the university and it was, therefore, convenient to give them one name because it evokes the old empire of Bunyoro-Kitara, which, at its height, covered most of the areas where Runyakitara is spoken today"--Page xi.
