The Luo in Kenya, who call themselves "Joluo" (aka "Jaluo", "people of Luo"), are the fourth largest community in Kenya after the Kikuyu, Luhya and Kalenjin. In 2017 their population was estimated to be 6.1 million. In Tanzania they numbered (in 2010) an estimated 1,980,000 [http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=luo]. The Luo in Kenya and Tanzania call their language Dholuo, which is mutually intelligible (to varying degrees) with the languages of the Lango, Kumam, and Padhola of Uganda, Acholi of Uganda and South Sudan, and Alur of Uganda and Congo.
