[edit] Luo confusion

Could we move "Luo language" to Dholuo, so as not to confuse with other Luo variants in Sudan, Uganda, DR Congo and Ethiopia. There is/was even a Luo language in Nigera. Example: Okot p'Bitek article says he wrote in Luo, which is correct. He did however use Acholi (a luo language) not Kenyan Luo language (Dholuo) which his article is linked to.

The "Luo language" page could be used for Luo family of languages.

Luo languages already covers the broader Luo family of languages. However, to avoid confusion, I think it is a good idea indeed to move this particular article to Dholuo language. As for the Nigerian variant (and other non-Nilo-Saharan languages called 'Luo', like a nearly extinct language of Cameroon), that's just a matter of using Disambiguation when they have articles. — mark ✎ 07:16, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
