Ankole sub-region is a region in Western Uganda that consists of the following districts: * Buhweju District * Bushenyi District * Ibanda District * Isingiro District * Kiruhura District * Mitooma District * Ntungamo District * Rubirizi District * Sheema District The area covered by the above districts constituted the traditional Ankole Kingdom. Milton Obote abolished the traditional kingdoms in Uganda in 1967. When Yoweri Museveni re-established them in 1993, Ankole did not re-constitute itself. The sub-region is home mainly to the Ankole ethnic group. The people of Ankole are called Banyankole (singular: Munyankole). The Banyankole speak Runyankole, a Bantu language. Runyankole is very similar to Rukiga, spoken by the people of the neighboring Kigezi sub-region. According to the 2002 national census, the Ankole sub-region was home to an estimated 2.2 million people at that time.〔Estimated Population of Ankole Sub-region In 2002〕 ==See also== * Regions of Uganda * Districts of Uganda 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ankole sub-region」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
