They have formed alliances with neighboring clans, such as the Luo people, via intermarriages, and as a result a majority of Suba people are bilingual in Dholuo. The Suba religion has an ancient polytheistic history that includes writings of diverse, ancestral spirits.

dbo:abstract
  • Suba es un idioma hablado por el pueblo Suba del este de África. Está casi extinto, pues según el censo de 2009 indica que es hablado por menos de 150 mil personas. Es una rama de las lenguas bantúes hablada en Kenia, que se cree que se desarrolló a partir de las interacciones entre los hablantes de Luo y Lusoga. Los Lusoga emigraron del reino de Baganda debido a un conflicto entre tribus. Los clanes Suba se encuentran en la costa este y las islas del lago Victoria en Kenia y Tanzania. Han formado alianzas con clanes vecinos, como el pueblo Luo, a través de matrimonios mixtos, y como resultado, la mayoría de las personas de Suba son bilingües. La religión Suba tiene una antigua historia politeísta que incluye escritos de diversos espíritus ancestrales. Una reciente reactivación del idioma Suba y su cultura ha influido en el aumento del número de hablantes nativos cada año. (es)
