Isukha

Isukha refers to a people and their language primarily found in the western part of Kenya. They are part of the larger Luhya ethnic group, which is one of the most prominent communities in Kenya. The Isukha people are historically known for their agricultural practices, with their economy largely dependent on farming crops such as maize, beans, and sugarcane.

The Isukha language is a dialect of the Luhya language, and while it shares many similarities with other Luhya dialects, it also possesses distinct features. Communication among the Isukha people is mainly through this language, though many are also fluent in Swahili and English, Kenya's national and official languages respectively. Their cultural heritage is rich, with traditions passed down through generations via storytelling, music, and dance.

Historically, the Isukha have been settled in the Kakamega County, specifically in areas that were once part of the North Nyanza district. Their social structure has traditionally been organized around family and clan systems. Like many communities in Kenya, the Isukha have experienced and adapted to various socio-economic and political changes over time, while striving to maintain their cultural identity and traditions.
