Who are Kenya's 42(+) tribes? 

Interesting..Australian fully aware of Kenya's ethnic diversity..congratulations from kisumu kenya..

I think the description "tribes" is more fitting than ethnicities since there are multiple communities of this grouping, speaking the same language albeit with dialects with some differences being way of life like pastoralist ,sedentary or mixed. for example borana, sakuye, waata orma and gabra, wayu and galla(considered pejorative term) all speak the afaan oromo language. while isaak, hawiyah, garre , ogaden etc.. are somali,

Point of correction some aren't tribes but clans of a tribe, meaning they speak similar language, same region, different elders but one chief elder. It's like how a central government is organized. They identify with their ancestral chief's name of their location but when assemble as one tribe

Maragoli I know, don't consider themselves Luhya, their language forms part of a dialect continuum, non-intelligible at the extremes, but both ends can understand dialects in the centre.

These are not tribes. These are nations. I hail from the Agikuyu Nation. Our origins are in Kemet then we immigrated into Ethiopia and we entered present day Kenya and settled around the Mountain of the Gods, which we call Kirinyaga.

More like 105 if you don't lump tribal clusters together

Add Pemba,indians, Shona

I really appreciate your work. I am looking for information of Munyoyaya, but I cannot find it. Would you guide me where I can get it?

There's some funny groups in there, the groups with "so-called" and all groups with the string "Wa*" like Wamtwapa, Wachangamwe, I wonder if there was a language barrier with the respondents from the Coast region, then we have the Somalis and the different tribes within Somali, same for Mijikenda, sometimes collective and individual group names have been used to refer to the same thing, would be interesting to learn the questions respondents were asked when gathering this information, sometimes the respondents understand differently.

How many tribal people do they have in Australia? Have you made a study of the aboriginal people. You are amazing if you did that.

Thank you for your precious research and exemplary work. Thank you also for addressing and being sensitive to the designation "tribe," which many of us in Africa experience in a like manner as do African-Americans the "N" word. Asante.

How are Kikuyu a tribe now? Almost 10 million and one language and culture. How do you call the Luo a tribe? Or the Baganda?
