Luo is the language of the Luo people of western Kenya, around Lake Victoria, with around 4 million speakers — and also the family name for the broader Nilotic Luo language group that includes Acholi, Lango, and Dholuo. (Barack Obama Sr. was a Kenyan Luo.) The US Luo-speaking community is part of the broader Kenyan-American population in the DC area, Texas, and Massachusetts. Our Luo translation work is occasional — Kenyan civil documents are usually in English (the country's official administrative language) and routed accordingly.
