Abstract Understanding English from non-natives with confidence is a matter of great concern for both native and non-native speakers. Since understanding English correctly requires a multidimensional mastery of language skills, students always regard it as an open question. This paper investigates the features and characteristics of Ugandan English (Uglish) with delving into similarities and differences from Standard English. The purpose of the paper was to describe the Ugandan English in terms of grammar, pronunciation, meaning of certain lexis and comparing it with Standard English. To answer the paper questions, the researcher adopted the Case Study Descriptive approach to describe and observe the aforementioned phenomena. The study subjects were the Ugandan everyday citizens and school students. The study indicated that not all native speakers of English and learners of English can easily understand Ugandan people unless they take into consideration the following features and aspects. Based on the aforesaid statement, the paper recommended taking care of specific vocabulary and items when visiting or working in Uganda to smoothly understand its people. It also was suggested that further research should be conducted concerning other language features such as register and style.
