The current layout (two big tables side by side) is a mess at 800x600. --Jmabel |Talk 02:08, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)

This article now begins "TheAbayudaya ('the Jews' inLuganda)…" Is that to say thatAbayudaya is the normal Luganda word for all Jews? If not, it is very misleading. --Jmabel |Talk01:59, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Abayudaya is a Luganda word, and is the plural of "Omuyudaya" (which means a "Jew"). That is why, for clarity, this group is often reffered to as "The Abayudaya of Uganda" or "The Abayudaya Jews of Uganda." --Ezeu02:08, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Abayudaya is the Luganda word for "Children ofYehuda", not for "the Jews". It's an ethnonym adopted by the Abayudaya for themselves, and I've never read of it being used by the Abayudaya to refer to other Jews, or to Jews as a whole. From what I've read, knowledge of English is fairly widespread among the Abayudaya, and inMirembe, mirembe the word used for Jews is "djuzi". The Abayudaya are not often referred to as "The Abayudaya [Jews] of Uganda" because of some invented rationale about singles and plurals in Luganda, but because the Abayudaya are a relatively unknown group who hail, as it happens, from Uganda. The "of Uganda" is an informative qualifier, not part of the ethnonym. I have, therefore, removed that assertion from the lead.Tomer^talk19:29, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've included 2 sources for my assertion about what the name means. There is a lot of misinformation out there, including some from otherwise reliable sources.Tomer^talk22:48, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the population from600 in the article to>750 perthis article. I assume that since the photographer was there (obviously) and in contact with community members (obviously), that this more recent number is plenty reliable. It also seems consistent with the community's size increases since the reign of Amin.Tomer^talk19:40, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am a student of Kakungulu primary school 1954--58. I was in school with Kakungulu's children Kopolo and Nabakungulu. At the time the school was the only Catholic school in Mbale.

Besides Kakungulu was a originally a chief from Baganda tribe who was placed in Mbale by Colonial for the purpose of collecting taxes. Please note:- Baganda tribe don't circumcise. It is Bagishu from Mbale and Sebeis who circumcise. Too many inconsistencies in your story.105.162.1.128 (talk)06:21, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WassermannNYC hasasked for citation on the statement "they are not genetically or historically related to other [[Jew|ethnic Jews]". Given that we state below, with citation, that the group only first began to distinguish themselves around 1880, it is hard to imagine what else we can do to cite for this. WassermannNYC, what further citation would you want? -Jmabel |Talk20:32, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• I do not see why that needs to be referenced, unless what WassermannNYC means is that it is so obvious it needn't be stated. But if we apply that logic to everything we write, we'd have pretty dry articles. --Ezeu23:55, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article (now) states "They are historically related to the original ethnic Jews" What does this actually mean?Flapdragon (talk)21:00, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's an image from inside the Nabugoye synagogue in the Hebrew article. I tried to get it in the English article with the following:

to no avail. Anyone got an idea for how to do it?Tomer^talk02:04, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
