{UAH} Haji & Historians Hausa (Nigerian) lingua & Ganda lingua

  1. Laouali Yahaya says

    I forgot to mention another important town in Salomon Island " MUNDA". My grand father's name is Munda.
    I don't know exactly the meaning. But when deceaphering in hausa we have "MU"=WE, and "DA"= "ANCIENT TIME" which gives litterally "We of ancient time" or "People of the past"=Mun-Da.
    Note that "DA" means "ancient epoch" in Sumerian , thus, same meaning in hausa.
    Please, a Polynesian to define us the term "Munda" in their part!
    thanks!

    if my memories is correct they were repertoried by invaders as belonging to the savages tribes because they don't follow bouddhism/induism but are followers of first religions very similar to african beliefs

    the history of Hawaii and polynesian makes account of a people called "MU" who were said to be the first people in existence on earth. They were said to be like pygmees but skilled in science. They were related to people of Atlantis.

    In Baganda Lingua DA or in full EDA means Ancient times i.e. Years ago, & "Long long ago" is EDA NE-DA.

    A person of ancient times would be " MU- NA -EDA or OWE-DA.

    so, in Baganda and in Hausa it has the same meaning. you can pronounce "Mun-Da" or "Mu-Na-Da"; I assure you that the 2nd alternative is the best because "Na" equals the preposition "of":
    we of the past=Mu Na Da.
    Another nigerien researcher , Dr Mahamadou Koraou, went further, saying that these Dravidians were the "Dawrawa" I mentioned above . Indians use "V" in place of"W"
    Dravidians said they came from West which is " YAMA" in hausa.
    But in their history Yama is taken as their ancestor; his name might be "Na Yama"= The Westerner.
    India, according to him derived from " Ein-DA"= " SONS of the past" which is the same as "Mun-DA"
    Maitre Souley in his part shares the same comprehension and said that Dravidians left a place designed in hieroglyphs as" Koren Ein-Da-Hausa" Koré meaning valley, thus we have "Ein-Da Hausa" = " Ein-Da-hus"= INDUS.
    Koren Ein-Da Hausa is thus, The Valley of Indus
    Many identical words and meanings are found between Hausa and related sanskrit languages.

    Na means of in Ganda e.g a Kenyan is Mu na kenya in Ganda i.e. of Kenya.

    When refering to a human in Ganda and Bantu Lingua one normally starts with MU e.g. Mu-indi (indian) . Mu Hausa ( Hausa person) MU Yoruba etc.
