About my revert of your change to Uganda.
Hello, I just reverted a change where you replaced kiganda with kiswahili on Uganda. I did this only because of the replacement of kiganda, and the cited constitutional amendment is clear on it being an official language.

That said, I think you are correct! At least in other languages being official. I am not sure, but think over time this has happened. I want to look into and correct this if there are others. Do you know of any sources that will be helpful to me? I will appreciate it, and hope to make the Uganda page better.

 * I have looked into this more. The quote in the citation is misinformation, and you are absolutely correct.
 * The abstract said "to provide for Swahili as the second official language of Uganda"
 * In the In section 3 it says: "(2) Swahili shall be the second official language in Uganda to be used in such circumstances as Parliament may by law prescribe."
 * The referenced citation on Wikipedia says: "Luganda shall be the second official language in Uganda to be used in such circumstances as Parliament may by law prescribe."
 * This is clearly wrong. Thank you for noticing this. BevoLJ (talk) 16:36, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
 * @BevoLJ I greet you. Kiganda (Luganda) is actually a proposed official language because it has more speakers than any other indigenous Ugandan languages.
 * The Ugandan Legislative house approved Kiswahili (Swahili) instead because it binds most Ugandans and our brothers and sisters throughout the EAST AFRICAN COMMUNITY.

 * Greetings sir! Thank you for the reply. This ended up being quite the roller coaster ride! So...
 * First you noticed the issue, and I wrongly corrected you. Sorry for that! While digging deeper into the matter, I discovered that M7 had never signed the Kiswahili language as official into law. What is cited had been approved by the government, but never signed by M7. Much discussion happened on the Uganda forums when I discovered this and asked what I should do about the matter! Then....!
 * After law had sat unsigned for 20 years, 10 days after I rais issue M7 signs kiswahili into law! haha!! So matter became a non-issue. I want to think it was me raising the question of what to do about him not signing it that someone saw and asked him to sign it, but I doubt that. lol. Most likely he signed it because the DRC had just joined the EAC. I think it was a political move by M7 to say to Ugandans to stop giving bacongo in Uganda troubles. Most I know in Uganda speak Kivu kiswahili from DRC not the coastal one.
 * Was interesting how all played out here on wiki, and then days latter a law is signed giving a country a language. haha.
 * Amani kwako, BevoLJ (talk) 12:16, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
