About: Rukwangali-English Bukenkango / English-Rukwangali Dictionary

Rukwangali-English Bukenkango / English-Rukwangali Dictionary in 1994 was the first publication with English both as the target and source language for the Kwangali language (Rukwangali) spoken in the Okavango Region of Northern Namibia. It is based based on a glossary compiled by the late J. K. Kloppers who was employed by the Native Language Bureau of the then Department of Bantu Education before Independence.

In those days Kloppers was also the Chairman of the Kwangali Language Committee as well as in charge of other Kavango languages. Johan Kloppers left in 1975 for the SWA Broadcasting Corporation, but returned to the Bureau for Indigenous Languages (BIL) - the meanwhile renamed Native Language Bureau - in 1977 until his retirement by 1990. After his return he was also assigned responsibility for Rucgiriku (Rumanyo). Thus, the glossary referred to contains also equivalents for Thimbukushu and Rugciriku.

The lexical stock which forms the backbone of this dictionary is in large parts adopted from this glossary and expanded by everyday vocabulary and expressions. Bukenkango Rukwangali-English / English-Rukwangali Dictionary is divided into two sections. In part I the target language is English, in part II Rukwangali. Four appendices complete the publication, in turn covering names for places, plants, birds and larger mammals.
