Kirundi Months

As has previously been mentioned, Kirundi speakers usually use ordinal numbers to refer to months.  However, each month also has a name in Kirundi, though they are very rarely used.  I was told by my teacher "learn these and you will know something that most Kirundi speakers do not know.  You will have something to teach them about their own language."
