Luhya people
The Luhya are a Bantu ethnic group in Kenya. They also live in Uganda and Tanzania albeit a minor populace. They number about 6.1 million people, being about 16% of Kenya's total population of 38.5 million. Luhya refers to both the people and their language. There are 18 tribes that make up the Luhya. Each with a distinct dialect. The word Luhya or Luyia in some of the dialects means "clan", and Abaluhya thus means "people of the clan". Other translations are "those of the same hearth." The sixteen tribes are the Bukusu, Idakho, Isukha, Kabras, Khayo, Kisa, Marachi, Maragoli, Marama, Nyala, Nyole, Samia, Tachoni, Tiriki, Tsotso, Wanga. They are closely related to the Masaba, whose language is mutually intelligible with Luhya. The Bukusu and the Maragoli are the two largest Luhya tribes. The principal traditional settlement area of the Luhya was in what is now the Western province of Kenya. A substantial number of them permanently settled in the Kitale and Kapsabet areas of the Rift Valley province.
