J. D. Chesswas
John Douglas Chesswas (born 1919) is a British author, linguist and policy advisor. He was a 2nd leftenant in the Pioneer Corp during World war 2. He was a pioneer in the development of Luganda language and held a high post in the colonial government of the day orthography, and worked as a leading educational evaluation theorist for programmes in the developing world.
==Orthography of Luganda==
Chesswas is the author of ''The Essentials of Luganda (1954)''; the third (1963) and fourth (1967) editions of which are commonly used as a text book for courses in Luganda language.〔University of Cambridge Language Centre: (Luganda )〕〔University of Wisconsin–Madison: National African Language Resource: (Materials for Distribution )〕〔(Electronic Bibliography for African Languages and Linguistics, Jouni Filip Maho, 2007 )〕〔Michigan State University: African Languages Database: (The Essentials of Luganda )〕
Chesswas was employed by the Luganda Language Board as a teacher of Luganda when, in 1949, the Government for the Uganda Protectorate began to offer free courses in Luganda to any officer wishing to take up the study. Recognising the lack of teachers in the language, Chesswas took the opportunity to publish a text book for stations where no teachers of the language were available. Chesswas cites Sir Apolo Kagwa's ''Engero z’Abaganda'' and Michael B. Nsimbi's ''Olulimi Olugand'' as his major sources, and acknowledges Nsimbi as his primary aid in developing the text.〔Chesswas, J. D. (1954); ''The Essentials of Luganda''〕
With Nsimbi, Chesswas went on to produce ''An explanation of the Standard Orthography of Luganda''; first written for ''The Eagle Press'' in 1958,〔(Review of An Explanation of the Standard Orthography of Luganda ), A. N. Tucker, Africa: Journal of the International African Institute, Vol. 29, No. 2 (Apr., 1959), p. 208〕 and published as a book in 1963, with second, third and fourth (1985) editions.〔Michigan State University: African Languages Database: (Ebinnyonnyola empandiika y'Oluganda entongole (4th edition) )〕〔Buganda.com: (A Primer on Speaking and Writing Luganda )〕
