Kinyarwanda is the official language of Rwanda. Many natives in the country speak it.[source?] It is mutually intelligible with Rundi, the national language of Burundi, and the two languages form parts of the Rwanda-Rundi dialect continuum spoken in Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, and Kenya.[source?]
