Greeting from Kigali, Rwanda. Listening to the locals, this clean African city is pronounced Chigali, and the country, Gwanda. The nationals are called Abanyagwanda. There are a lot of nuances in the way people speak. For example, I have come to learn that the word “omubyeyi” means a parent (“mzazi” in Swahili). But it is pronounced something like “umubgyeei”.
