Abstract

This study compares German and Kinyarwanda (JD60), a Bantu language spoken in Rwanda and neighboring countries (Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, and Uganda). By analyzing the linguistic levels of Kinyarwanda phonology, morphology, and syntax, the study provides an insight into the structure of Kinyarwanda, discusses and compares the salient structural differences and similarities between German and standard Kinyarwanda. The study should be understood as a contribution to comparative and contrastive linguistic research, which on the one hand will serve to improve language teaching, especially Kinyarwanda teaching and on the other hand will continue comparative linguistic research. Language comparison and contrastive analysis are very effective for this purpose, so that native German-speaking learners can acquire a deeper insight into the structure of Kinyarwanda as well as a better understanding of this language.
