Kumam is not a Luo (also spelled LWO) dialect of Uganda although past linguists have wrongly grouped it under Luo languages. It is rather an Ateker language mixed with Luo vocabularies spoken by the Kumam people of Uganda.It is estimated that Kumam dialect has 82 percent lexical similarity with Acholi dialect, 81 percent with Langi dialect and 20 percent with Teso language. However, these are often counted as separate languages despite common ethnic origins due to linguistic shift occasioned by geographical movement.Kumam is widely spoken in the Ugandan districts of [[Kaberamaido][kalaki] [soroti] and Dokolo.
