Rundi (commonly seen in its native form, Kirundi) is a Bantu language (D62 in Guthrie's classification) spoken by some 8.7 million people in Burundi and adjacent parts of Tanzania and Congo-Kinshasa, as well as in Uganda. 84% of the speakers are Hutu, 15% are Tutsi and 1% is Twa.

Rundi is closely related to the Rwanda language, the principal language of neighboring country Rwanda, and to Ha, a language spoken in western Tanzania. Rundi and Rwanda are mutually intelligible.

The inhabitants of Rwanda and Burundi belong to three different ethnic groups: Hutu, Tutsi, and Twa (a pygmy people). The fact that these ethnic groups share the same language is assumed to be the result of the Hutu outnumbering the latter two groups (see Hutu for a more complete historical perspective).
