Yes. It's very interesting because there are different versions to their existence. So claim that it's through assimilation while some fronts intermarriages.
The Abawanga currently speak the Luhya language & practice the luhya customs & traditions.From history,the Abawanga were actually luos who settled among the bantus during migration.We have Wanga sub-clans in luo but we don't classify the abawanga as luos.It's the same case with the Kumam.Having adopted the Luo language & culture,they are definitely a Luo group now regardless of their orijin.

It is just like us Jogirango People from Suna-Migori. We originated from the Bantu but speak 100% Luo and practice Luo culture. Our mothers, grandmothers, great grandmothers have always been Luo. We're Luo the language of our mothers and fathers.

Thanks so much Kp, though you still have alot to research on Kumam, I believe Kumams are LUO. you now need to research on ANYWAA or ANYAUK luo tribe in Ethiopia if there is no any futher migration team from their side after their settlement in Quambela region.

All groups who have migrated to the Great Lakes have had some form of assimilation, including the Kenyan and Ugandan luo respectively. The only major difference is some have been assimilated more than others. The Kenyan luo today is not 100% the one that left Sudan.

The Kuman neighbouring Lango are more Luonised. Those neighbouring Teso are more Tesonised. They are more integrated.

Well, I already did something about the Anyaa of Ethiopia. I was in Gambella [Ethiopia] in May this year [2023].
Check out the Anywaa videos
Lango got their Luo language from Acoli. Anyuak dialect is almost completely identical with Acoli in grammar as well as vocabulary

I highly suspect this as well. I think those were the Anywaa.
