Lango (also called Leb-Lango) is not exclusively a Luo language, although linguists have grouped it under the Luo languages in the past, it is not a Luo language but instead a mixture of Ateker languages and broken Luo dialects.[3] The word "Lango" is used to describe both the language spoken by the indigenous and the tribe itself.
It is mainly spoken in Lango sub-region, in the North Central Region of Uganda, by approximately 1.5 million speakers. An orthography for it using the Latin script has been introduced and is taught in primary schools.
