The written form of Soga is only as recent as the arrival of the Arab and European traders and missionaries.
Soga is used in some primary schools in Busoga as pupils begin to learn English, an official language of Uganda.
Soga has several dialects dating to the intermingling of people during the early migration period of the 17th and 18th centuries.
In the southern part of Busoga a dialect known as Lutenga was traditionally spoken which resembled Luganda.
Its publications can be found at the Busoga Cultural Centre Offices library located in the Nile garden in Jinja, Uganda.
Some examples of noun classes: In the Bantu languages around the Lake Victoria region in Uganda, nouns are reflected mainly by changing prefixes: human beings are indicated by the prefix Ba- (plural), and Mu- (singular), and the name of the country Bu-.
When conjugating the verb, remove oku and replace it with the required pronoun i.e. n, o, a, tu, mu, ba.
A Musoga waking up at what English speakers would call 10:15 a.m. would instead say essawa erii ikumi na ibiri munkyo ('the time is 4:15 in the morning').
