public_comment: ""The observations made here are restricted to the Kenyan situation, although the Suba/Luo settlement area extends across the border into Tanzania... In Kenya, there were according to the 1979 Population Census 59.668 Suba (Abasuba) [...] 88.1%% [in a survey] claimed competence in Suba (99.1%% in Dholuo). We assume, however, that such competence must be ranged on a a wide scale since only half of the sample claimed to have learned Suba as their first language. This relatively low figure may be partly due to a misunderstanding of the question."",
