It is spoken natively by 2.2 million people (as of 2009), mostly among the <a href="/wiki/Abagusii" class="mw-redirect" title="Abagusii">Abagusii</a>. Ekegusii has only two dialects: The Rogoro (upper-side) and Maate (lower-side) dialects. Phonologically, they differ in the articulation of /t/. Most of the variations existing between the two dialects are lexical. The two dialects can refer to the same object or thing using different terms. An example of this is the word for cat. While one dialect calls a cat <i>ekemoni</i>, the other calls it <i>ekebusi (a word that comes from the sound used to call a cat in Gusii culture)</i>. Another illustrating example can be found in the word for sandals. While the Rogoro word for sandals is <i>chisiripasi (a loanword from the English word "slippers")</i>, the Maate dialect word is <i>chitaratara (adapted from the sound made by sandals when one walks while wearing them)</i>. Many more lexical differences manifest in the language. The Maate dialect is spoken in Tabaka and Bogirango. Most of the other regions use the Rogoro dialect, which is also the standard dialect of Ekegusii. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Sounds">Sounds</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Gusii_language&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Sounds"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Vowels">Vowels</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Gusii_language&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Vowels"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Gusii has seven vowels. <a href="/wiki/Vowel_length" title="Vowel length">Vowel length</a> is contrastive, i.e. the words 'bóra' <i>to miss</i> and 'bóóra' <i>to say</i> are distinguished by vowel length only. </p> <table class="wikitable IPA"> <caption>Phonetic inventory of vowels in Gusii </caption> <tbody><tr> <th></th> <th><a href="/wiki/Front_vowel" title="Front vowel">Front</a></th> <th><a href="/wiki/Central_vowel" title="Central vowel">Central</a></th> <th><a href="/wiki/Back_vowel" title="Back vowel">Back</a> </th></tr> <tr align="center"> <td align="right"><a href="/wiki/Close_vowel" title="Close vowel">Close</a> </td> <td>i</td> <td></td> <td>u </td></tr> <tr align="center"> <td align="right"><a href="/wiki/Close-mid_vowel" title="Close-mid vowel">Close-mid</a> </td> <td>e</td> <td></td> <td>o </td></tr> <tr align="center"> <td align="right"><a href="/wiki/Open-mid_vowel" title="Open-mid vowel">Open-mid</a> </td> <td>ɛ</td> <td></td> <td>ɔ </td></tr> <tr align="center"> <td align="right"><a href="/wiki/Open_vowel" title="Open vowel">Open</a> </td> <td></td> <td>a</td> <td> </td></tr></tbody></table> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Consonants">Consonants</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Gusii_language&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Consonants"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the table below, <a href="/wiki/Orthography" title="Orthography">orthographic</a> symbols are included between brackets if they differ from the <a href="/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet" title="International Phonetic Alphabet">IPA</a> symbols.
