What is the Luhya word for English salary?

There isn't a single, universally accepted Luhya word for "salary" in English.

However, depending on the specific Luhya sub-dialect and context, you could use some of these words:

* "Mushahara": This is the most common word, borrowed from Arabic and used across many Bantu languages in East Africa.

* "Mshahara": This is another common variation of "mushahara," with a slightly different pronunciation.

* "Mali ya kazi": This literally translates to "money of work" and can be used to refer to salary.

* "Mpesa ya kazi": Similar to "mali ya kazi", this means "M-Pesa of work" and refers to salary paid via the mobile money platform M-Pesa, very common in Kenya.

It's important to note that the most appropriate word will depend on the specific context and the Luhya sub-dialect being used.

It's always best to clarify with a native Luhya speaker to ensure accurate communication.
