The many dialects of luo in Uganda, South and Anyua in Ethiopia are very traditional unlike the Kenyan luo , who are so modern and the culture diluted by their neighbor cumminities. In Kenya there's always this competing between the Luos of Siaya and the greater south nyanza for who are the pure luos. But from what I get from Peter's interaction, Jo siaya is closer to jopadhola and Jonam. Meanwhile, Peter look for Irene Ayaa TV. She's an Acholi from Pajok in Southern Sudan. She's having a great effort like your program to make all of us understand our various dialects. Such that when we move around among our various groups we need not translation but let everybody speak theirs but we all understand. I am wishing you the very best in your pursue of our greater LUO across Africa.
Thank you again Woudnam on a beautiful presentation. I can see your channel growing which is wonderful. Business plan is required. Luo keaders in each county/country need to support this journey. Its for our kids. 😊
You’re welcome. Help me share the content widely. I need more luos on board. And ofcourse support will soon be necessary because it’s getting bigger than I imagined.
This is much fascinating Mr Kogot. I feel elated when I here my brothers and sisters else where talk like me with little dialect difference. Keep it up.
The power of research and observation! K'Ogot is more informed than those two Ugandan journalists. K'Ogot knows more about Luos in Uganda than Ugandans!!!
Great great job my brother I love what you are doing my brother. Try as much as you can to see these ethic groups all yearn to know love and accept each other no matter the geographical location thanks brother am proud to be a luo and am proud to hear of my brothers in Uganda tororo 27:01
Thanks for the great work. However I suggest that you also try to get to Zombo where the Alur King is. You have managed to interact with Pakwach and Nebbi, Zombo can close it up for you with moer clarity on the Alur as in Uganda.
Not the fish. Both languages are atonal. This contrasts with remarkably tonal Bantu languages like luGanda, kiDigo, eke-Gusii, siZulu, or kiKamba. English and dho-Luo have similar consonants, vowels, and many words that end with vowels. Words such as Bet, Par, An, In, Wan, Bed, Tol, Thing, Got, Wich, Pat, etc, inter-weave both languages in terms of spelling and pronounciation. Just a linguistic coincidence. It is possibe for Luo speakers to borrow English words like "glass", "balance", "plan", "break", and "syllabus" and apply them without change, unlike the Bantu speakers. On the other hand, Kiswahili and some Bantu speakers would find Italian and Japanese very easy cos of distinct syllables and many words which must end with a vowel: Italiano, Arsenali (Arsenal), etc.

The real Luo Nilotes are in Sudan and Ethiopia. Kenyan Luos have been intermarrying with Bantu tribes like the Luhyas for a long time, making them more Bantu compared to the Luo Nilotes in Sudan. An average Luo person in Kenya is more Bantu than a Nilote. The only true Nilotes left in Kenya are the Maasai, Kalenjin, Samburu, Turkana, and Iteso. The only Nilotic element remaining in the Luo of Kenya is their language.
@@michaelcody3960 go read the genetics of luos in kenya i don't need to isolate anyone. The genetics of luos in kebya says they bantus not nilotic. If you feel isolated by that fact then that's your issue

The luo of Kenya and Tanzania travelled the longest and possibly interacted with more “jomwa” along the way compared to the other luo groups.
So Jo Siaya are pure speakers
I'm happy for this show..i guess more like this should be again 😊
I’m happy you like it. Help me share it widely. I need more luos on board

I will definitely go there because I must have a word with the king
Moving in the right direction
Wuod Luo in a tie has the swagg(Nyadhi)associated with Kenyan Luos.i like the fact that he does not speak English with that funny Luganda accent.

Could you share your source of information? Or shed more light? Which tribe? Where do they live? Why do you link them to luo? History?

Luo in Kenya say "mer" means drunk, when it really means "love"❤
mar/maro is different from mer/ mero. what i mean is 'mer' is the right word of drunkard.
"mer" meaning love, and "mer" meaning drunk, have same spelling, but different pronunciation!
There is mer which is familiarising with someone in a friendly way; there is also mer which is drunkenness. The intonation is of importance. There is mar which is liking and miti which is love
Pronunciation and intonation. Luo is a very tonal language.
