Luganda. Swahili,Lunyankole and Langi! This can evoke participation. Some expressions do not exist anywhere in English and in Luglish they do not make sense! for example one word being used so commonly is Kiwanyi!!

Another favorite is "ohhhh, sorry," used whenever anything bad happens to anyone, ever (trip on the street?
