I do not think there is any any such thing as the Hima dialect. The Banyankole including the Bahima speak the same language.
Hema keep being referred to as Nilotic when they dont speak a nilotic language but a Bantu one closely related to the Bantu languages of western Uganda. Everytime i correct this its changed. Wojak6 ( talk) 23:30, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
That source is using the hamitic hypothesis. Which is discredited. Hema are Bantu. They belong to the "Rutaran" branch of great lakes bantu in which runyoro, runyankole, rutooro etc belong. Wojak6 ( talk) 06:03, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
Anyone can simply click on the languages of groups like the lendu and see they speak a central sudanic and not a bantu one... that author is clearly not a linguist and that source is not a valid one Wojak6 ( talk) 06:06, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
The rutaran speaking bantu peoples of the great lakes developed pastorialism independantly of any nilotic peoples btw. Similar to the pastoralists of south africa like the Bantu Wojak6 ( talk) 06:09, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
Ndo language..which clearly says Central-Sudanic and not Nilotic. Its related to mangbettu. Your source is clearly outdated and unreliable. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ndo_language Wojak6 ( talk) 06:22, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
If the hema are nilotic then all the ethnic groups in the related box should be removed immediately Wojak6 ( talk) 08:47, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
Also i cant find any other source saying the lendu and ndo are Bantu or hema being of nilotic (which nilotic branch? Luo? Ateker?) Origin. Very vague. Their language is unique and they clearly didnt adopt it from elsewhere. Wojak6 ( talk) 08:49, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
Here is my source that debunks your unreliable one that msitakenly labels hema as nilotes due to the hamitiic hypothesis https://www.jstor.org/stable/20065242?seq=1 Wojak6 ( talk) 09:02, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
Quote from the book "Hema are labeled as nilotes and lendu as "Bantu" even though they are more properly considered part of the Sudanic language group (that hema are styled as nilotes probably has to do with the phonetic coincidence of hema with "hima" (debunked hamite theory) Wojak6 ( talk) 09:10, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
The editor, or whomever is in charge of this page is wrong. Hema are bantú, that's a fact. You can't claim that they're nilotes, while being related to Bantu groups! That does not making any sense, it's contradictory.It seems like you have adopted to the more fringe theory of hema origin. Khal Drogo243 ( talk) 13:58, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
