Line 32: A novitiate was established in 1868. Missionary posts were established in [[Kabylie]] and in the [[Sahara]]. In 1876 three missionaries on their way to [[Timbuktu]] were killed by desert nomads.<ref name=blanc/> In 1878 ten missionaries left [[Algiers]] to establish posts at Lakes [[Lake Victoria\|Victoria]], [[Lake Malawi\|Nyassa]] and [[Lake Tanganyika\|Tanganyika]].<ref name=Forbes>[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15613d.htm Forbes, John.

The White Fathers were the largest [[missionary]] society to operate in Zambia, as well as one of the earliest to settle in the country. Their first station was among the [[Mambwe people\|Mambwe]], in the Tanganyika- Malawi corridor, established in 1891 (prior to the establishment of British rule). The ~~people of~~ Mambwe had been harassed by the politically and linguistically stronger ethnic group of Northern [[Zambia]], the [[Bemba people\|Bemba]], towards whom the White Fathers directed subsequent efforts. The establishment of the Chilubula mission by the bishop of Nayasa Vicariate, [[Joseph Dupont (bishop)\|Joseph Dunpont]], in 1898, marked the beginning of the White Fathers’ colonisation of Lubemba. This allowed the missionary society to extend their work further than any other missionary society in Northern Rhodesia. By the mid-1930s, the White Fathers had around twenty missions, all of them located in present-day Northern [[Luapula Province\|Luapula]] and, to a lesser extent, Eastern provinces of Zambia.<ref>Marja Hinfelaar, Giacomo Macola, ‘The White Fathers’ Archive in Zambia’, History in Africa, Vol. 30, Publisher: Cambridge University Press, (2003).</ref> In addition, many of the documentations of the language of [[Luganda]], spoken in [[Uganda]], such as grammars, dictionaries and individual articles are in [[English language\|English]] or [[French language\|French]]. This can all be traced back to the French Catholic Missionary Congregation of the White Fathers and their impact on [[colonial history]], between 1885 and 1921. The White Fathers who arrived at [[Lake Victoria]] region in 1879, published six Luganda grammars and dictionaries in French.<ref>Michael Meeuwis, ‘THE WHITE FATHERS AND LUGANDA To the Origins of French Missionaries linguistics in the Lake Victoria region.’, Annales Aequatoria, Vol. 20, Publisher: Honore Vinck, (1999).</ref>
