The Luwo (also called Jur Chol and Luo of Bahr el Ghazal) are a Nilotic ethnic group that live in the western parts of South Sudan. They are part of a larger group of ethno-linguistically related Luo peoples of East Africa.[citation needed] They speak the Luwo language which is a Northern Luo language.[1][2]
They are related to the Dholuo speaking Joluo of Kenya and Tanzania. The date of divergence is estimated to have been about eight centuries ago.[3] their closest relatives however, are the Anyuak, Pari, Balanda Boor, and Shilluk.
