Ethnologue classifies the Luhya languages differently than presented in the article. No sources are cited in the article in regards to the sub-tribes or languages (or anything else for that matter). The following is the linguistic tree as outlined on Ethnologue:

Masaba-Luyia Languages

Masaba [myx] - Ulubukusu, Ulubuya, Uludadiri, Lugisu (Gisu, Gishu), Ulukisu, Syan.

Nyole (Nyule, Lunyole) [nuj] from Uganda - Menya, Hadyo, Sabi, Wesa

Luyia (Luhya) Languages

• Bukusu [bxk] - dialects: Bukusu and Tachoni

• Idakho-Isukha-Tiriki [ida] - dialects: Idakho (Kakamega), Isukha, Tiriki

• Luyia (Luhya, Luluyia) [luy] - dialects: Kisa, Marama, Wanga, Tsotso, West Nyala, Khayo, Songa, Marach, Kabras; Saamia (which is listed as 88% lexically similar to Wanga)

• East Nyala [nle]

• Logooli (Ragoli, Uluragooli, Llugule, Maragooli, etc.) [rag] - Maragoli

• Nyore (Lunyore) [nyd]

Clitirodectomy? edit

Not that I got any first hand exposure, but I'm pretty sure all the lu's I knews said that clitirodectomy was not practiced. Obviously this would be the problem with an entire article based on original research. — anon
