EP1 - Learn Luo Language in 52 weeks start with greetings! - The 52 week challenge

[@weaverbirdb9953]

The Kenya Government should hire this gentleman to run a school on languages of Kenya .Language teaches culture and people from other tribes will then be able to understand each other and realise that in Kenya the more we think we are different the more we are the same . He is such a dedicated teacher . It cannot be cheap funding a programme like this yet he just goes on teaching probably for not much return other than the pleasure he gets from seeing other learn and improve.

[@LuoEnglishDictionary]

Thanks for always supporting us. We are preserving the Luo language in this platform one lesson at a time 🤩

[@mysteriousDSF]

Yes I absolutely agree, in other countries in the world, for example my country Hungary, they should teach some Gypsy language and culture to every kid, and racism would vanish completely in less than ten years. But governments like to suppress minorities systematically because diversity doesn't meet the demands of the global economic powerhouse.

[@LuoEnglishDictionary]

Language and culture is absolutely necessary! Let’s see what the future has🙂

[@mysteriousDSF]

@@LuoEnglishDictionary oh yeah btw I'm an amateur Hungarian language and culture enthusiast. I fell in love with the Nilotic culture and Luo seems to be the most accessible gateway to enter this realm.

[@zaccariahibrahim1258]

This is so helpful! In Mabaan sub-Luo tribe, counting is numbers has grammar as wel. For example; number 1 is Cyal but when you describe something, let's say like One Luo, we say Luo a cyel. But other than that , here is how my counting is. 1. Cyel 2. Yew. 3 doog. 4 ŋaan. Or nguan. 5. D،ɔɔyi. 6. Wicyel.7 wicyeew. 8 wicdoog. 9. Wïcŋaan. 10 ịngyaakɛn. Means two handa. 2 hands are equal to 10. Thank you very much. Brother Brother Luo Sudan or S Sudan Blue Nile River Bordering Ethiopia

Despite me being older I'm humble enough to learn my language from scratch. It's an essential tool out here 🙌

[@anickobel4645]

I'm a Luo from uganda but i can understand almost all the words, in uganda we have difference tribes under the same luo with similar speaking,they includes: Acholi, Alur, Lango, Kumam, Jopadhola, all these Tribes speak LUO, In sudan we also have Acholi pajok and in D R Congo we also have Alur same Luo speakers ,let me show you the difference in counting numbers 1-10, Acel, Ariyo, Adek, Angwen, Abic, Abicel, Abiryo, Aboro, Abongwen, Apar 😜

I am a Nigerian. But had a close friend from the Kumam tribe (a sub-sect luo tribe). I got so much interest in this language as a way identifying with my friend to the cradle. Great work.

I have learnt that the Luo and the Igbo tribes are quite similar; with the Luo well represented in Uganda. Thank you for a fun evening. One day I'll share with the story of how the African slaves created there own language when they came to Jamaica. For now, here is a sample Inna Di Morrows (Jamaican Patois) See you tomorrow (Translation) and "Bless up" --- God bless you!

[@maureenfred8496]

I really love luo

[@nicklaus8536]

The Luo are in Uganda among the Acholi, Langi and Jopadhola tribes. They only vary slightly in accent but generally use the same words. A Kenyan Jaluo can easily hold a prolonged conversation with a Ugandan Acholi. They will understand each other very well despite slight inconsequential differences.

[@LuoEnglishDictionary]

Thanks for the great addition to the discussion.

[@Jay-th1od]

Why are luos so well spoken and smart

[@SGOA32178]

Yes, sir. You are doing a good job promoting the language spoken by us southern luos whose native territory straddles the eastern shores of Lake Victoria in Kenya and Tanzania. But sir, the language is called DHOLUO. And not LUO. Huge difference, its like calling French language France. And lastly, there are several luo tongues, dholuo being just one of them. In Uganda, the acholis and lango call their language lep luo that is to literally say "tongue of luo" as opposed to us calling it dholuo which transliterates to "mouth of luo". Your daughter is a very able assistant and kudos to her. Erokamano ahinya, itimo maber jadhot.
