Similarities between Somali and Kalenjin languages.

 

[NidarNidar]

They are heavily admixed with cushites, and the language and culture exchanges occured when they arrived in Kenya.

 

[Rayaale]

It’s the other way around,the Nilotes adopted Cushitic customs

 

[Nilotic]

I recognise none of these words; these Nilotes that live outside the homeland (Greater Sudan) have obviously picked up words and customs from the groups they assimilated

 

[Northern Swordsman]

Many nilotic languages have been influenced by cusbific speaking languages especially around Sudan and kenya/tanzania

 

[Nilotic]

Many nilotic languages have been influenced by cusbific speaking languages especially around Sudan and kenya/tanzania

I don't think that's the case in Sudan; there are no Cushitic speaking groups that border Nilotic populations in Sudan

 

[Man with a garuun]

Basically, Somali, Kalenjin, and Masai have 6, 8, 9, and 10 in common. Turkana only comes closer at 10.
