Interest Of Others	I get comments and advice from many people on a regular basis. Earlier versions of the language were called Katanda and then Nasendi and then Latenkwa. It has its own mailing list (called Katanda) at yahoo.com and is still being used for Ladekwa. The dictionary has over 1000 Ladekwa words, translating to about 2800 English words, and is growing constantly! There are several lessons, the first few having audio files.
