What is the African Luhya term for English woman?

There isn't a single, universally accepted Luhya term for "English woman". The Luhya people are diverse, with various dialects and local customs.

However, here are some possibilities depending on the specific context:

* "Mzungu mwanamke": This is a common phrase used in Swahili, and it translates directly to "white woman" or "foreign woman". While it's not specifically Luhya, it's widely understood in the region.

* "Mwananchi wa ng'ambo": This translates to "person from across the sea" and is used to describe someone from a different country. Again, while not specific to English women, it could be used in a broader sense.

* "Mwanamke wa Ngereza": This translates literally to "woman of England", and could be used for an English woman. However, it's less common than the other options.

It's important to be mindful of the context and the specific Luhya dialect when using these terms.

If you are unsure, it's always best to clarify with a local speaker.
