The Kalenjin languages are a family of a dozen Southern Nilotic languages spoken in Kenya, eastern Uganda and northern Tanzania. The term Kalenjin comes from a Nandi expression meaning 'I say (to you)'. ''Kalenjin'' in this broad linguistic sense should not be confused with ''Kalenjin'' as a term for the common identity the Nandi-speaking peoples of Kenya assumed halfway the twentieth century; see Kalenjin people and Kalenjin language. The Kalenjin languages are generally distinguished into four branches. There is less certainty regarding internal relationships within these. * Elgon (Sebei) * Nandi–Markweta (Kalenjin) * Okiek * Pökoot ==Footnotes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kalenjin languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
