Lakini YW, if i am luo and hubby is somali, you want to tell me am going to agree they speak somali in the house? Or will he agree we speak luo? How do the parents communicate given that they are from different tribes? Mostly Swahili (if they do not know English). Then, thats the language the kids pick. When they go outside, if they live in Kisumu, the kids will definitely learn luo by default...if they live in Garissa, somali will also be in the plate as the kids play with others outside...... Hiyo haiwezi kuwa shida.....

Hiyo haiwezi kuwa shida..... Hehehe Wendz, lakini hiyo luo na somali ni combination kali........  It is made easier if one or both of the parents know even a smattering version of the partners language. But if hubby speaks a 'minority' language, why should the children know it? They will be more at ease with a larger section of the population if they know your 'majority' language. Unless the partners are ready and capable of overcoming all the unique challenges of inter tribal, inter religious, inter sect/denominational etc marriages, I strongly disapprove of them. Hapana! Avoid them if you can. Love is not enough! To me marriage surely can do without more unnecessary challenges.

@ YW It is not as hard as you imagine. By the way, what matters is that there is communication. The language barrier is not a big deal. Your kids will hardly ever use your mother tongue in the days to come. In my view, the kids 'tribe' is the neighbourhood they grow in and not the Parents mother tongue. In futre, it will be easier for your kid to marry a girl from Buru where she was brought up than a girl who can dazzle him in your mother tongue. So please check that ... What drew you closer to your wife is not becuase she speaks your tongue, but coz you have similar set of norms. Guys your perception of tribe should change henceforth ... well unless you are raising kids for your village I Think Therefore I Am
