The evidence supporting this is the fact that some Suba groups speak languages similar to <a href="/wiki/Ganda_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Ganda language">Luganda</a>, <a href="/wiki/Soga_language" title="Soga language">Lusoga</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Luhya_language" title="Luhya language">Luhya</a>. The Suba groups tracing ancestry among the Kenyan tribes preceded those groups from Uganda in present-day Subaland and are the numerous and influential ones. Those groups from Uganda are mostly concentrated in Rusinga and Mfangano islands with small pockets of them being found in mainland Kenya. <a href="/wiki/Linguistics" title="Linguistics">Linguistically</a>, the Suba are highly influenced by the neighbouring <a href="/wiki/Luo_(Kenya)" class="mw-redirect" title="Luo (Kenya)">Luo</a>, to the point of a <a href="/wiki/Language_shift" title="Language shift">language shift</a> having taken place among large portions of the mainland Suba. As a result, their own language has been classified as endangered.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Despite this language shift, the Suba have kept a distinct ethnic identity. The <a href="/wiki/Rusinga_(Cultural)_Festival" title="Rusinga (Cultural) Festival">Rusinga Festival</a> is held in December of every year as a cultural festival to celebrate and preserve Suba culture and language.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A community cultural festival known as Rusinga Island Cultural, Religious and Arts Festival popularly known as RICRAF is an annual community event which celebrates the cultural heritage of the indigenous Abasuba peoples of Rusinga Island, celebrates the island's archeological significance and gives the islanders a platform to showcase cultural arts and industry. </p><p>The Abagirango (Suna Girango) is another group that is usually erroneously grouped together with the Abasuba of Suba South and Suba North, since they also call themselves Abasuba. But, this is because Girango had a son named Musuba (Suba) and this Musuba had many children than his other brothers, for instance, Tegi and Gire hence descendants of Musuba calling themselves Abasuba meaning Musuba's people. Suba clans in Suna include Simbete, Sweta, and Wiga; and they have a clear and distinct ancestry that goes back to forefathers who crossed red Sea from Misri as illustrated below: </p><p>Ragwe<--Siora<--Montheya<--Girango<--Musubaabs </p><p>Their language is also distinct and very different from the <a href="/wiki/Suba_language" title="Suba language">Olusuba</a> language spoken by the Abasuba of <a href="/wiki/Homa_Bay_County" title="Homa Bay County">Homa Bay County</a>. The Suna people speak the <a href="/wiki/Suba-Simbiti_language" title="Suba-Simbiti language">Ekisuba/Egesuba</a> language which is the same language spoken by their brothers the <a href="/wiki/Suba_people_(Tanzania)" title="Suba people (Tanzania)">Suba people (Tanzania)</a>. Currently, those who claim to speak Ekisuba actually speak igikuria (bunchari dialect) which is the same language as the <a href="/wiki/Suba-Simbiti_language" title="Suba-Simbiti language">Ekisuba/Egesuba</a> spare the name difference. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="General_Information">General Information</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Suba_people_(Kenya)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: General Information"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>There are also people in <a href="/wiki/Tanzania" title="Tanzania">Tanzania</a> (Tarime, Musoma and Rorya Districts, <a href="/wiki/Mara_Region" title="Mara Region">Mara Region</a>) who call themselves <a href="/wiki/Suba_people_(Tanzania)" title="Suba people (Tanzania)">Suba</a>, and are part of the Abagirango since their language and cultural heritage is the same.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Suba people who settled on the islands include smaller clans called the Eluzinga or'Chula', meaning the people of the islands. This group includes the following clans: Waware, Awakiwanga (Kaswanga), Wanyama, Waregi, Awamasengere (Kamasengere), Wasaki and Awangoze (Ngodhe), while others were called the Awibuang'ano/Awaivuang'ano (Mfangano/Fang'ano). This group includes Wakula, Wasamo, Wagimbe, Wiramba who are related to Awakiimba (Kakiimba), Awisokolwa and Waozi. Other groups also poured into Mfangano due to the pressure from advancing Luos in Central Nyanza especially in areas around Imbo Naya. They settled in Mfangano and they include; Wayokia, Wakisasi/Awakisori, Wakiara/Wakiala. Others include Kamreri, Kayanja and Waondo who are found in Mirunda Gembe Suba North. Other clans began forming when the people did much more expansion onto the islands. For example, there are other clans whose clan names were distinguished by their new geographic location. </p><p>The clan that predominantly lives the closest to Lake Victoria and is the bigger of the sub groups is the people that go by the name Awigassi or Gwasii and they happen to reside upon the Gwasii Hills, Gwassi and Wakula are related since their forefathers Kiboye and Witewe were brothers before escaping to the east after a revolt in the Bagandan Kingdom in the year 1700. Waware were also involved in this struggle. Other groups that reside on a hill are the Uregi who reside on the Uregi Hills of Meari which is a town in the <a href="/wiki/Nyanza_province" class="mw-redirect" title="Nyanza province">Nyanza province</a> as well as Awangoe residing in the Ungoe Hills. The Awakune or Kaksingri clan live along the lake from Gingo to a small fishing village called Sindo to Ragwe and Ngeri, and they are closely related with Uregi who live in the Uregi Hills since their forefathers came from the same home. Today many people in the islands and the highlands subsequent to Lake Victoria still retain the original Suba dialect that is the <a href="/wiki/Suba_language" title="Suba language">Olusuba</a> that is closely related to the <a href="/wiki/Ganda_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Ganda language">Ganda language</a>, and Lusoga although it is heavily influenced by the bigger <a href="/wiki/Luo_dialect" class="mw-redirect" title="Luo dialect">Dholuo</a> and <a href="/wiki/Kuria_language" title="Kuria language">Kuria</a> in some areas through interaction. As a result of that interaction, the <a href="/wiki/Suba_language" title="Suba language">Olusuba</a> has borrowed a significant amount of lexical items from <a href="/wiki/Luo_dialect" class="mw-redirect" title="Luo dialect">Dholuo</a> and <a href="/wiki/Kuria_language" title="Kuria language">Kuria</a> that were absent in the original <a href="/wiki/Ganda_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Ganda language">Luganda</a>-like <a href="/wiki/Suba_language" title="Suba language">Olusuba</a> dialect. </p><p>Further information upon the tribesmen's expansion remained unclear pretty unclear considering that the Niger-Congo family has the largest number of dialects within Africa. Distinguishing the different dialects become rather difficult because they all predominantly use the noun class system. With that being said it has become rather unclear as to how deep into Kenya the Suba people managed to travel being as distinguishing them from other dialects becomes harder and harder as the language is slowly being influenced by its neighboring language, <a href="/wiki/Luo_dialect" class="mw-redirect" title="Luo dialect">Luo</a>. Suba scholars have taken the initiative to rewrite the History and more information is now available. </p><p>Other Suba speakers are found in the Southern shores of the Lake in Muhuru Bay. They are generally called Muhuhuru People and they also speak the <a href="/wiki/Suba_language" title="Suba language">Suba language</a>. Some pockets of Uregi, Gwassi, and Kaksingri are also found in Muhuru Bay in Migori county. </p><p>Even the greater Suna people who based in Migori county usually identify themselves as Suba and are linguistically and culturally distinct and are unconnected to the Abasuba from Suba district. The Suna people are a heterogeneous group that comprises <a href="/wiki/Luo_people" title="Luo people">Luo</a> and splinter tribes from the <a href="/wiki/Kuria_people" title="Kuria people">Kuria</a>. The Suna have however integrated clans originally part of the <a href="/wiki/Suba_language" title="Suba language">Olusuba</a> speaking Suba such as Waware, Wiga and Kaswanga into their various sub-groups. The Suna people are the Abagirango or <a href="/wiki/Girango_people" title="Girango people">Girango people</a> who call themselves Abasuba because Girango had a son named Musuba (Suba) and not because they are related to the <a href="/wiki/Suba_language" title="Suba language">Olusuba</a> speaking Suba of <a href="/wiki/Homa_Bay_County" title="Homa Bay County">Homa Bay County</a> who are descended of migrants from <a href="/wiki/Buganda" title="Buganda">Buganda</a> and <a href="/wiki/Busoga" title="Busoga">Busoga</a> that entered <a href="/wiki/Kenya" title="Kenya">Kenya</a> through Rusinga and Mfangano Islands by boats. </p><p>However, the correct name for the Suna people is ABAGIRANGO although they are referenced as Suna/Suba-Girango to distinguish them from the <a href="/wiki/Suba_language" title="Suba language">Olusuba</a> speaking Suba of <a href="/wiki/Homa_Bay_County" title="Homa Bay County">Homa Bay County</a> who are distinct in terms of heritage from the Abagirango. The term Suba was originally used by Luos to refer to splinter tribes from their main tribes of Kisii, Kuria and Luhya and the term later became the name of the <a href="/wiki/Suba_language" title="Suba language">Olusuba</a> speaking people of <a href="/wiki/Homa_Bay_County" title="Homa Bay County">Homa Bay County</a> who migrated from Uganda escaping the expansion of the Buganda Kingdom. They settled in Kenya as refugees and they had a well formed and a very organised language, political system and economic activities. The Suba in Suna <a href="/wiki/Migori_County" title="Migori County">Migori County</a>, Kenya refers to a heterogeneous people of <a href="/wiki/Luo_people" title="Luo people">Luo</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Kuria_people" title="Kuria people">Kuria</a>. A clear evidence of this is a town named Suba Kuria in Migori County, Kenya. The Suna Abasuba include the Wasweta (Kadika, Katiga, Kakrao,), Wasimbete (Bahiri kiberi, Bahiri ng'ong'o, bahiri Nkena, Miaro, Nchogu) and Wiga (Wakwena, Nyasasi, Wanje, Nyathocho, Kamsuru). </p><p>Their original language is <a href="/wiki/Suba-Simbiti" class="mw-redirect" title="Suba-Simbiti">Ekisuba/Egesuba</a> which has several dialects such as sweta, simbiti, surwa, kine, etc. Currently, they speak a language that includes a combination of Kisuba and Egikuria language – that is the bunchari dialect, and many of the communities interact freely with the Suba people in Tanzania (Surwa, Sweta, Simbiti, Hacha, Nguruimi, Kine etc.) and the Kuria (Rianchoka, Banchari, Batimbaru etc.) people. Clans of Suna people; Wasweta, Kadika, Wiga, Wanje, Katiga, Kakaeta, Kanyameda, Wasimbete, Wakwera, Wanyara, Kamn'go'ngo </p><p>2010. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Culture">Culture</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Suba_people_(Kenya)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Culture"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The culture of the Suba People is very distinct from those of the Luo. The Suba people practice circumcision as an initiation process from boyhood to adulthood. Mostly boys are circumcised. In some clans, even girls are circumcised. Suna Girango circumcision process is very similar to their neighbors the kuria even the saro names, for instance, Nginaro, Misungu, Gitang'osa, Kirina, etc. </p><p>Clans had roles assigned to them such as circumcision, animals sacrifices and dispute settlements. </p><p>Subas were also involved in rain Making sacrifices such as animal sacrifices to appease the gods and clan spirits called Emisambwa singular Omusambwa in Suba District. These were carried out in special shrines which can still be found across Suba such as Utende, Kwitutu, Mungusa and Kiboye Shrines. Subas also revered snakes such as the Python and they believed that Clan spirit dwelled amongst them. An example is given of the spirit of Gumba in Rusinga and Mungusa of Kaksingri. </p><p>Dowry included 30heads of Cattle but this also depends upon the purity of the lady to be married. A lady with a child would attract lower number of heads of cattle. Her age mates would accompany her with songs to her new home and celebrate. Alcohol made from Sorghum and Cassava was served as a form of celebration. Ladies also decorated their tummy with special drawings. </p><p>During funerals there were gifted elders who would carry Engawvo a type of shield and a long spear and Chant around the homestead while adorned with twigs. </p><p>Suba people also practiced rock art as witnessed in the caves of Kwitone in Gulwe Mfangano. </p><p>The Suba people are cattle farmers- a culture that they borrowed from the Luos. Even though the Luo no longer keep large herds of cattle, the Suba still keep cattle in large numbers. This is especially common in Migori District in Suba west division where cattle rustling between Kurians and Girango people is common. Subas also loved sport fishing where there was a special species they went for. The Abasuba also commonly practice polygamy, some of the members of the clan are named to have had even ten wives. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Language_barrier">Language barrier</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Suba_people_(Kenya)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Language barrier"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>One of the biggest issues relating to the Suba language declination is the sole fact that Kenya viewed the language as inferior.
