Kirundi belongs to the linguistic family of Bantu languages and is spoken by more than 30 million people: especially in Burundi, but also in Ruanda, Tansania, parts of the DR Kongo, and of course in the Burundian diaspora in Germany and all over the world.
DEKI can support you on the exciting journey of studying both languages: Kirundi and German.

Through the process of cooperation within our international team the app offers perspectives from both languages and cultures. Besides the dictionary DEKI is a project of three universities (the Deutschzentrum at university of Burundi, the Bujumbura Christian University and the University Stuttgart). It is regularly being updated and maintained by Deutschzentrum and volonteers.
DEKI is based on the vocabulary that is recommended for the German language in Level A1-B2 as well as the dictionary Kirundi-English by Elizabeth Cox and modern kirundi vocabulary from news websites.

You can download DEKI for free in the Google Play Store.
Have fun studying German or Kirundi!
