message: I deleted the Acholiteck link since it is apparently dead. Also, added a link to the PanAfriL10n page on the language (cluster). The latter is relevant as localization of less widely spoken languages is an emerging topic. --A12n 18:10, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is it called a "dialect"? Several books cited in references call it a "language".
And why is "Acoli" the spelling in the title? In Ethnologue, the English name and the autonym is "Acholi". --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 19:02, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Since there weren't any replies, and it seems more sensible to call this "Acholi" and "language", I am moving Acoli dialect to Acholi language and Acoli people to Acholi people. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 08:25, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

text: kwami, I've read the article. In this article, the part that says that it's mutually intelligible is marked as "dubious", the article Southern Luo language barely has any references at all, and a lot of cited books call it a "language". So it is really true that it's a dialect of Luo? --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 12:15, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
