Editing Luo languages (section)

==Classification==
The time depth of the division of the Luo languages is moderate, perhaps close to two millennia. The division within the [[Southern Luo language]] dialect cluster is considerably shallower, perhaps five to eight centuries, reflecting migrations due to the impact of the [[Islamization of the Sudan region]].<ref>[[Bethwell Allan Ogot]], ''History of the Southern Luo: Volume 1, Migration and Settlement''.</ref>

The Luo languages are classified within the [[Glottolog]] database as follows:<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/lwoo1234 |title=Glottolog 5.0 - Lwoo |date=2024-03-11 |access-date=2024-05-06 |website=[[Glottolog]] |last=Hammarström |first=Harald |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240506212710/glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/lwoo1234 |archive-date=2024-05-06 |url-status=live |publisher=[[Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology]] |author-link=Harald Hammarström |last2=Forkel |first2=Robert |publication-place=[[Leipzig]] |doi=10.5281/zenodo.7398962 |last3=Haspelmath |first3=Martin |author-link3=Martin Haspelmath |last4=Bank |first4=Sebastian |doi-access=free}}</ref>
