Language

Most Ugandan's speaken language are English, Swahili or Arabic and Central Sudanic. These different languages are used throughout each ethnic group living in Uganda. The language is something that make the groups different than each other.

Food

In Uganda most all population except for some that live in urban centers produce their own food. Most of the people eat two meals a day: for breakfast is a coffee or something like that. The women and girls are the one's that can be in the kitchen because boys and men eat in another part of the house.(separate from women) They cook most of the time in open wood fire. Some common food could be the millet bread, cassava, potatoe and chiken. Also they have a national drink called waragi (banana). Uganda also have restaurants that can also serve this kind of food.

Etiquette

In Uganda a hand shaking is a normal form of greeting. They use casual dressess throughout all day and evening. To a taxi and a waiter have to give a 10 tip. In here is very important to follow the etiquette all the time especially in meals. When they are going to eat meals thay first put plats in the table and wash their hands. Children can only talk if they are going to do a question everyone else shouldn't speak. Nobody can't leave the table until everyone finished. Also when everyone is finished they have to thank their mother for the food. If you don't do those things you will be very disrespectful.

Religion

Religious identity has economic and political implications: church membership has influenced opportunities for education, employment, and social advancement. Leaders of indigenous religions reinforce group solidarity by providing elements necessary for societal survival: remembrance of ancestors, means of settling disputes, and recognition of individual achievement. Another social function of religious practitioners is helping people cope with pain, suffering, and defeat by providing an explanation of their causes. Religious beliefs and practices serve political aims by bolstering the authority of temporal rulers and allowing new leaders to mobilize political power and implement political change.

Arts

Most artist are not well supported,in here there aren't to much artists at all because is very difficult to stablish because of disruptions of long-term political conflict and economic decline. Even though literature in here had come back since World War. In Uganda the performing arts difference from each ethnic group. In Uganda live alot of rich cultures and styles that each one can perform different dances: the  banyankole perform their Kitaguriro dance and many orders had their own that identify each one. Uganda has a special instrument named Drum who was made of animal skin. It is used to send messages to the intended ceremony.
