Can Suba, kuria and luos understand each other language ?

Can Subaru, kuria and luos understand each other language ?

I never heard a Subaru talk other than those loud annoying noises but I know you are more likely to understand an Omokuria better than his next door Luo neighbour would.

I guessed! The Suba are a Bantu people but they have been fully assimilated by the Joluo. Their language is almost lost. They generally identify themselves as Jaluos.

Joluo, Abasuba or Abakuria? I know the Abakuria use the words gutema and guita liberally when you annoy them and they can go ahead and do it without second thoughts. Gutema in kuria also means to beat. Ukiona mzee who genuinely was in detention ask him why they called Kuria askaris Mutemerere.

Some languages have disappeared. Very few Abakuria can speak their language, fluently

Hii nayo hapana. Kina Robi, Ghati, Marwa na Chacha wanaongea Gikuria vizuri sana. Ile lugha inatokomea ni Kisuba. Wakuria are too many (with 75pc living in Tanzania) for their language to die. Though they also like to speak kiswahili a lot even among themselves, I believe because of the TeeZee influence.

kurias are not bantus and the rest nilotes?

Kurias are Bantus. Subas are Bantu but have been swallowed by the River Lake Nilotes called Luos.

I know Subas who speak deeper and better Dholuo than me. But still still fluent in their own language.
"NyaSuba" is highly sought and coveted by Luo men.
They are in a class of their own, including intellectually.
