Other Information

Place: The Place field was previously recorded as being “Africa ; east Africa; near Eldoret; near Londiani; Ndorobo”, but Eldoret is in Kenya, and Ndorobo is a cultural group. The Place field has been amended accordingly. [JD 2/6/2009]

Cultural Group: "Ndorobo" is a derogatory cover term for several small hunter or forest groups, which are not linguistically related (El Molo, Yaaku, Okiek, Omotik). Forest. Hunter-gatherers; pastoralists. Christian. Nearly extinct. [Source: Ethnologue 15th Edition, JD 2/6/2009]
