Southern Luo Languages

Southern Luo is a dialect cluster of Uganda and neighboring countries. Although Southern Luo dialects are mutually intelligible, there are six ethnically and culturally distinct varieties which are considered to be separate languages socially.

Proto-Southern Luo has been reconstructed by Blount & Curley (1970).
