Lango (also called
Lwo, Lwoo, or Leb-Lango,) is a
Southern Luo dialect spoken by the
Langi people of
Uganda. It is mostly spoken in
Lango sub-region, in the Northern Region, by approximately 1.8 million speakers, or five percent of the population of Uganda. An orthography for it using the
Latin script has been introduced and is taught in primary schools. It is generally counted as a distinct language because the Langi people are ethnically distinct from other Luo.
