Tones are a significant feature in most Bantu languages. However, previous work on morphological analysis of Bantu languages has always missed out the tones. In this paper we describe an approach to carry out morphological analysis of tone marked Kinyarwanda text. Kinyarwanda is an agglutinating tonal Bantu language with a complex morphological structure. Results obtained from these experiments were compared to results obtained with analysis of tone unmarked text. We found that analysis results from tone marked text were less ambiguous compared to similar analysis on tone unmarked text.
