Suli is really only a dialect of Siluk, and is spoken by a small tribe 
to tlie south of Latuka , in latitude 4° N. 
Lur is also only a variant of Siluk. It is the language of the 
north-western bank of the Albert Nyanza, in 3° 30' to 4° 1ST. lati¬ 
tude. (A further extension of the Siluk tongues is the speech of 
Kavirondo, spoken on the eastern shore of the Victoria Nyanza in 
2° S. latitude, so that this closely-related group of languages—the 
Siluk—extends its colonies from 11° JST. latitude to 2° S. of the 
Equator.) 
Galla , an important member of the Ethiopic branch of the Hamitic 
family of languages, is spoken with relatively little variation over an 
immense area, stretching from 12° N., in Abyssinia, to 4° S , in the 
vicinity of Mombasa, and up the Sabaki river to within sight of 
Ixilima-njaro. 
Somali , the dominant language of the eastern horn of Africa, 
closely related to Galla. 
Boni is a form of Galla spoken by the Boni (Wa-boni, as the 
Swahilis call them), or San people, a helot race of hunters living on 
the banks of certain rivers in Southern Galla-land. 
Woratta , an independent Ethiopic tongue, distantly allied to Galla , 
and spoken in Central Galla-land.
