Irienyi Language

The Irienyi language (also known as Ekirienyi"' or "'Ekigassi) is a Bantu language spoken in the Gwassi district in western Kenya (between the Kavirondo Gulf of Lake Victoria and the border with Tanzania). It is spoken by the Irienyi also known as Gwassi people, numbering about 0.8 million (SIL/Ethnologue 1994). Many Irienyi are bilingual in Luo and Kunta language.

Please quote reliable sources.Xx236 (talk) 12:29, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

All articles must be based on reliable published sources

Please read WP:VERIFY and WP:RS. This means of course that you can't use oral history or our articles for sources. You also need to use "inline citations" to show what text is backed by what sources (if you use books you need to add page numbers) and there are some great videos at Wikipedia:Meetup/UMassAmherst/Intro to Wikipedia which will tell you how to do it. I appreciate the hard work you've been putting into editing but it's also created problems, so I've asked at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Africa#2 new editors who could use help with sourcing for advice.
