From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oromo (pron. /ˈɒrəmoʊ/[2] or /ɔːˈroʊmoʊ/[3][4]) is an Afro-Asiatic leid. It is the maist widely spoken tongue in the faimily's Cushitic branch, an the maist populous leid o Ethiopie. Furms o Oromo are spoken as a first leid bi mair nor 20 million Oromo an neighbourin fowks in Ethiopie an pairts o northren Kenyae. Some linguists think o Oromo as a dialect continuum, syne nae aw varieties are mutually intelligible. It is a sociolinguistic leid, consistin o at least fower varieties: Borana–Arsi–Guji Oromo (ISO code gax), Eastren Oromo (cried Qottu an aw) (ISO code hae), Orma (ISO code orc), an Wast Central Oromo (ISO code gaz). Aulder publications eften refer tae the leid as Galla, a term that is considered pejorative an na langer uised. The lingueestic relationships atween some o these Oromo leids hae been explained bi Kebede Hordofa Janko.[5]
