Driberg explores Lotuko dialects, which includes Nyang'i, or by its other name Nyangiya. Information of the Nyangiya language is on page 603, in which it details that there is no grammatical gender in the language. On page 608, the author tells that the tribe of Nyangiya is twindling down to the hundreds and prefer to speak Dododh; the people of the Nyangiya are said to have largely influenced the language of Dododh. Going on to page 609, Driberg mentions some vocabulary.
