Or - I speak a little Kinyarwandan
I don't, but I'm hoping to pick up a bit more in the coming months. I've typed these out hoping something will stick
Muraho - Hello
Mwaramutze - Good Morning
Mwiriwe - Good Afternoon/Evening
Murakoze - Thank you
Yego - Yes
Oya - No
Amakuru/Bite - How are you?
Nimeza - Fine
Witwande - What is your name?
Nitwa... - My name is...
Ryare - When (pronounced dgyare)
Hehe - Where
Mzungu - White person. Or... really just any lighter skinned person

It all still sounds very alien to my ears, and quite harsh. I'm hoping that with more exposure I'll start to recognise things more.
