== Map missing Eritrea == |
|||
As above, unless I am blind the current map in the infobox includes Eritrea as a part of Ethiopia. I am unsure how to fix this myself, however I believe this is a simple and unobjectionable change that needs to happen, since the map reflects contemporary borders. [[Special:Contributions/5.151.196.93|5.151.196.93]] ([[User talk:5.151.196.93|talk]]) 14:37, 24 January 2023 (UTC) |

== Adding native names to Uganda Infobox == |
|||
Well recently I have noticed that the infobox in other languages for Uganda is missing some information about certain languages, such as the fact that the transcription in Luganda is wrong, which is not Eggwanga Yuganda, it is in fact [https://www.ulrc.go.ug/sites/default/files/Constitution%20in%20Luganda.pdf Lipabuliika ya Uganda]. The Uganda Law Reform Commission, which is an agency of the Ugandan government, has [https://www.ulrc.go.ug/content/publications published] on its website the official translations of the Ugandan Constitution in different languages, including [https://www.ulrc.go.ug/sites/default/files/Constitution%20in%20Lusoga.pdf Lusoga] and [https://www.ulrc.go.ug/sites/default/files/Constitution%20in%20Lumasaba.pdf Lumasaba]. |
|||
This section is to provide advice on the names that appear in the infobox. |
|||
Uganda only recognizes English and Swahili as the main languages, although reading some articles from both the Law Reform Commission and other Ugandan government websites, the native languages have some relevance. |
|||
Even if they are not recognized as official languages, it does not prevent them from being included in the infobox. For example, I have seen that there was a lot of debate about including the French name on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Algeria&oldid=1140828183 Algeria's article], one of the arguments being that [[google:What+is+the+status+of+French+language+in+Algeria|French has no official status]], but since this language is taught in schools and a large part of the population speaks it, it was concluded that it should be included in the infobox. On the other hand, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Senegal&oldid=1141885054#cite_note-15 Senegal's article] includes Wolof, Arabic and Fula names even though the country only recognizes French as their only official language. |
|||
So in a nutshell, the fact that they have no formal status [[de jure]], [[de facto]] they are languages which have some relevance in Uganda and that is why the Law Reform Commission translated and put online the country's constitution in those languages. |
|||
The purpose of this section is to provide a consensus to avoid any kind of edit war, vandalism or confusion. So any criticism or feedback on this decision is welcome. |

i have noticed that the you made a mistake while selecting the official language in Uganda. The official language is not Runyakitara but rather it is LUGANDA /GANDA language. please correct this error.

Uganda is becoming less and less of a one-party state and is in fact an authoritarian dictatorship, which Museveni keeps up with rigged elections and false prophecies for the “Bright future of Uganda”, most of the money intended to be used for these purposes had instead flowed into his own pockets, gaslighting the population into thinking changes have been made. I’ve been living outside of Uganda for about 23 years, and have every year seen the decline of democracy in the country. I hope the message reaches the wiki editors, and face the situation that is going on in my home country, where most of my family reside.

As a result, young women tend to have older and more sexually experienced partners and this puts women at a disproportionate risk of getting affected by HIV, accounting for about 57 per cent of all adults living with HIV in Uganda.[124] → The figure in this sentence is gravely wrong. From the original reference, it is 5.7 per cent, not 57 per cent.
