Abstract:
Afan Oromo- the language of the Oromo- is also known as Oromo. The word ‘Oromo’ refers to both the People of Oromo and their language. It is one of the widely spoken indigenous African languages. It is also spoken in multiple countries in Africa including Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and Tanzania among others. Moreover, it is spoken as a native language, second language and lingua-franca across Ethiopia and beyond. Regardless of its scope in terms of number of speakers and geographical area it covers, Afan Oromo as a literary language is only emerging due to perpetuating unfair treatment it received from successive Ethiopian regimes. This commentary sought to examine prospects and challenges of Afan Oromo. To this end, drawing on existing literature and author’s own personal observations, salient prospects and challenges of Afan Oromo have been presented and briefly discussed. Suggestions to confront the challenges foreseen have been proposed by the author where deemed necessary. The paper concludes with author’s concluding remarks concerning the way forward.

Abstract:
Natural language is a type of language that human beings use to communicate with each other. However, it is very difficult to communicate with a machine-understandable language. Finding context meaning is challenging the activity of automatically identifying machine translation, indexing engines, and predicting neighbor words in natural language. Many researchers around the world investigated word-sense disambiguation in different languages, including the Afaan Oromo language, to solve this challenge. Nevertheless, the amount of effort for Afaan Oromo is very little in terms of finding context meaning and predicting neighbor words to solve the word ambiguity problem. Since the Afaan Oromo language is one of the languages developed in Ethiopia, it needs the latest technology to enhance communication and overcome ambiguity challenges. So far, this work aims to design and develop a vector space model for the Afaan Oromo language that can provide the application of word-sense disambiguation to increase the performance of information retrieval. In this work, the study has used the Afaan Oromo word embedding method to disambiguate a contextual meaning of words by applying the semisupervised technique. To conduct the study, 456,300 Afaan Oromo words were taken from different sources and preprocessed for experimentation by the Natural Language Toolkit and Anaconda tool. The K-means machine learning algorithm was used to cluster similar word vocabulary. Experimental results show that using word embedding for the proposed language’s corpus improves the performance of the system by a total accuracy of 98.89% and outperforms the existing similar systems.

Abstract:
The Argobba of southeastern Wällo and northeastern Šäwa live amongst and speak the languages of the Amhara and the Oromo with great ease as if they are members of these ethnic groups. For them Amharic and Afaan Oromoo are the languages of administration and market transaction and therefore important for Argobba survival in a region domi-nated by these two ethno-linguistic groups. Yet the Argobba I met in these lands identified themselves as Argobba, and they were known as such, despite the fact that several of them had Amharic or Afaan Oromoo as their first language. The central claim of this article is therefore that the Argobba of this region define themselves as Argobba based on their traditions, customs, beliefs, values, and total cultural practices and not on the basis of who can or cannot speak the Argobba language.

Abstract:
Since most of the existing major search engines and commercial Information Retrieval (IR) systems are primarily designed for well-resourced European and Asian languages, they have paid little attention to the development of Cross-Language Information Access (CLIA) technologies for resource-scarce African languages. This paper presents the authors' experience in building CLIA for indigenous African languages, with a special focus on the development and evaluation of Oromo-English-CLIR. The authors have adopted a knowledge-based query translation approach to design and implement their initial Oromo-English CLIR (OMEN-CLIR). Apart from designing and building the first OMEN-CLIR from scratch, another major contribution of this study is assessing the performance of the proposed retrieval system at one of the well-recognized international Cross-Language Evaluation Forums like the CLEF campaign. The overall performance of OMEN-CLIR was found to be very promising and encouraging, given the limited amount of linguistic resources available for severely under-resourced African languages like Afaan Oromo.

Abstract:
The author defines nation as a territorial community of nativity and attributes significance to the biological fact of birth into the historically evolving territorial structure of the cultural community of nation, which allows to consider nation as a form of kinship. Nation differs from other territorial communities such as tribe, city-state or various ‘ethnic groups’ not just by the greater extent of its territory, but also by a relatively uniform culture that provides stability over time [22. P. 7]. According to the historical-linguistic comparative studies, “in terms of the history of mankind it is incontrovertible that some of the earliest and greatest human achievements have been accomplished in civilizations founded and headed by Afro-Asiatic peoples” [28. P. 74]. The Oromo people is one of the oldest nations in the world with its own territory (Oromia) and language ( Afaan Oromoo ). The Oromo possess a common political culture ( Gadaa democracy) and pursue one national-political goal of independence to get rid of the Abyssinian colonialism. Oromo national memories consist of memories of independence and national heroism, memories of the long war against expansionist Abyssinian warlords and the Abyssinian invasion of the Oromo land in the 19th century with the new firearms received from the African co-colonizing Western European powers, and these weapons were used not only to conquer the Oromo land but to cut the Oromo population in half. The Oromo nation consider the colonization of their country, loss of their independence, and existence under the brutal colonial rule of Abyssinia to be the worst humiliation period in their national history. The article consists of two parts. In the first part, the author considers the theoretical background of such concepts as nation, national memory, conquest humiliation, and some colonial pejorative terms still used by colonial-minded writers (like tribe and ethnic groups). In the second part, the author describes the Oromo national political and social memories during their long history as an independent nation from the Middle-Ages to the last quarter of the 19th century; presents ‘the Oromo question’ through the prism of the global history of colonization, occupation of their territory, slavery, and the colonial humiliation of the Oromo nation by the most cruel and oppressive Abyssinian colonial system; presents the two last regimes of the Abyssinian system and the final phase of the Oromo National Movement for sovereignty, dignity, and peace, which contributed greatly to the stability in the Horn of Africa.

Shaykh Bakrii Saphalo was a perceptive Oromo Muslim scholar who used traditional Oromo wisdom to make Islam intelligible to his people and part of their cultural heritage. A gifted poet who wrote in Arabic, Oromo, and Somali, he was persecuted by two successive Ethiopian regimes during the 1960s and 1970s. As an activist scholar, he sought to spread knowledge among the Oromo, who constitute about 40 percent of Ethiopia’s population. Due to the government’s tight control and distance, as well as the lack of modern communication and technology, his effort was limited mainly to the Oromo in Hararghe, eastern Ethiopia. For over six decades Shaykh Bakrii sought to uplift his people and secure respect for their language, culture, human dignity, and national identity. 1 Motivated by his desire to develop the Oromo language, which at that time was banned, he struggled to develop written literature in it. But despite all of these accomplishments, he has been largely forgotten.

Abstract:
This paper attempts to describe focused structures in Dromo in light of the generative framework of Chomsky [1976, 1981, 1986] and Williams [1977]. The framework recognizes two levels of grammar: sentence and discourse. Focus is believed to be part of the latter.Three types of focus have been identified in relation to the four major syntactic categories of the language. In NP's the feature is realized as /-tu/, in VPs as /hin-/, and in PP's as /-da/. These elements are not part of the inflectional or derivational morphology of the language. Adjectives use prosodic or structural devices when focused. The structural device is clefting, which the other categories also employ in addition to the elements mentioned above.

Abstract:
A recent study of sixty-four Oromo slave children from the Horn of Africa has provided valuable information of the children’s experiences from capture to the coast. In 1888 a British warship liberated a consignment of Oromo child slaves in the Red Sea and took them to Aden. A year later, a further group of liberated Oromo slave children joined them at a Free Church of Scotland mission at Sheikh Othman, just north of Aden. Two of the missionaries learnt Afaan Oromo (the children’s language), and, with the assistance of three fluent Afaan Oromo speakers, they conducted structured interviews with each child asking for details of their experiences of their first passage i.e. the journey from cradle to the Red Sea coast. When a number of the children died within a short space of time, the missionaries had to find another institution with a healthier climate to prevent further deaths. They decided to ship the Oromo children to the Lovedale Institution in the Eastern Cape, South Africa.

Abstract:
This paper examines the tone in Harar Oromo, a language widely spoken in Ethiopia. The focus is on tone in nouns. The examination implements acoustic analysis of tone using pitch contours, which helps in determining the type and position of tone in roots and in nominative and accusative case. The results show that roots can have either L or H tone, while case suffixes always have H tone. This suggests that tone is predictable in suffixes, but not in roots. The analysis suggests that Harar Oromo has a restricted tone system that is similar to stress-like languages.

Abstract:
The development and use of languages for official, education, religion, etc. purposes have been a major political issue in many developing multilingual countries. A number of these countries, including China and India, have recognised the issues and developed language policies that have provided some ethnic groups with the right to develop their languages and cultures by using writing systems based on scripts suitable for these purposes. On the other hand, other countries, such as Ethiopia (a multilingual African state) had, for a long time, preferred a policy of one language and one script in the belief that this would help the assimilation of various ethnic groups create a homogenous population with one language and culture. Rather than realizing that aim, the policy became a significant source of conflict and demands for political independence among disfavoured groups. This thesis addresses the development of a writing system for Oromo, a language spoken by approximately 40 percent of the total population of Ethiopia, which remained officially unwritten until the early 1990s. It begins by reviewing the early history of Oromo writing and discusses the Ethiopian language policies, analysing materials written in various scripts and certain writers starting from the 19th century. The adoption of Roman script for Oromo writing and the debates that followed are explored, with an examination of some phonological aspects of the Oromo language and the implications of representing them using the Roman alphabet. This thesis argues that the Oromo language has thrived during the past few years having implemented a Roman-based alphabetical script. There have been and continue to be, however, internal and external challenges confronting the development of the Oromo writing system which need to be carefully considered and addressed by stakeholders, primarily by the Oromo people and the Ethiopian government, in order for the Oromo language to establish itself as a fully codified language in the modern nation-state.

Abstract:
Ce travail est consacré à la morphophonologie des langues est-couchitiques, principalement le somali, secondairement l'afar, le rendille et l'oromo. L'analyse des mécanismes "phonologiques", notamment du mécanisme d'alternance voyelle-zéro, nécessité et permet une révision radicale de la conception classique de la "morphologie" de ces langues. Ceci conduit en effet à établir les principes originaux mais rigoureux et très simples selon lesquels "l'information consonantique sous-jacente" est gérée en surface. La récupération correcte de ce matériel sous-jacent permet alors de montrer que la morphologie de ces langues est fondamentalement et essentiellement "gabaritique". Le système verbal, en particulier, se ramène à l'exploitation d'un gabarit unique, CV[CV]CVCV, identique à celui du sémitique et du berbère. La mise en évidence d'un gabarit et de consonnes quiescentes, garanties par le mécanisme d'alternance V/O, permet de comprendre de nombreux faits qui sans cela restent isolés et inexpliqués
The work is dedicated to the morphophonology of East Cushitic languages, mainly Somali and secondarily Afar, Rendille and Oromo. The analysis of "phonological" mechanisms, particularly vowel/zero alternations, requires and allows a complete calling into question of the common conception of the "morphology" of these languages. Indeed it leads to elicit original but very strict and simple principles which rule whether "underlying consonant material" may be instantiated. It appears that the proper retrieval of this underlying material allows to prove that the morphology of these languages is fundamentally and essentially "templatic". In particular the verbal system is shown to operate from a unique template, CV[CV]CVCV, identical to the template found in the Semitic and Berber languages. The elicitation of a "template" and of "latent consonants" allows to understand and unify a series of facts which before were considered as exceptions

Abstract:
This study investigates the role of the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus (EECMY) in the development of the Oromo language. The main aim of the study is to provide an account of the contribution of this particular church to the maintenance and development of Oromo, which is spoken by the largest speech community in Ethiopia. The study draws on theoretical and methodological frameworks from the field of language planning and development. The main source of data was interviews and focus group discussions conducted with church leaders at different organisational levels and other members of the church community. In addition, documents found in the church archives were analysed. The findings indicate that a number of church activities have contributed to the maintenance and development of the language. These activities include translation and transliteration work of the Bible and other religious literature, literacy and educational programmes, media work as well as use of Oromo in the liturgy and church services. This study also examined the obstacles that hindered the development of Oromo. The main obstacle was the conflict within the EECMY that arose in 1995 over the use of the language. The study unearths the roots of the controversy through a brief historical examination of the church’s attempts to develop the language, despite opposition from the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and earlier regimes, which proscribed the use of the vernacular languages in Ethiopia. Thereafter it focuses on the internal conflict after the change to a democratic government when the situation in Ethiopia became more favourable towards use of vernacular languages. It identifies the causes of the conflict, the way in which it was resolved and the effects which it had on the development of the language. Recommendations are made for further research and some suggestions are given regarding ways to promote the future development of the Oromo language.

Abstract:
Until recently, the Oromo were largely unknown among scholars of Africa. Since the Abyssinian conquest of the vast Oromo land-known today as Oromiyain the late-nineteenth century, Oromo within the Ethiopian empire state (where they number more than half the population) have remained politically, linguistically, economically and historically marginalised. Since the late 1970s, almost a century after their conquest, when the Derg military junta's campaign of terror was at its peak, and continuing with the present regime, large numbers of Oromo have fled Ethiopia to neighbouring countries. By 1997 a small number (approximately 500) had resettled in Melbourne, Australia. Over these past two decades Oromo nationalism has grown into a mass movement in east Africa and among the worldwide exilic communities. Central to the growth of nationalism has been the assertion of a pan-Oromo national identity (Oromumma, 'Oromoness'). Like all identity politics, Oromo nationalism remains academically deadlocked between essentialism and social constructionism: Oromo anti-colonial nationalists posit an atavistic account of Oromo identity, while 'Western' scholars generally conceive of it in politically disabling constructionist terms.

Abstract:
Language and religion are essential components of cultural identity. Cultural identity both reinforces and subverts the dominant paradigm. An alliance of Church and State in Ethiopia reinforced Abyssinian imperial political, economic, and military domination with linguistic, religious, and cultural hegemony. The Abyssinians are the Amhara and Tigrayan people, who speak related Semitic languages and follow Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity. As the Abyssinians created the modern Ethiopian empire, they dominated the Ethiopian political landscape since the 1880s. Onesimos Nasib’s life serves as a case study, allowing this thesis to explore these themes of how culture can reinforce or undermine state authority. Enslaved as a child, Onesimos’ life reveals how cultural perceptions justified exploitation in the Abyssinian Empire. After his freedom and baptism into the Protestant Christian faith, Onesimos’ work as a missionary, translator, and teacher reveals how language, culture, and religion can help edify an exploited group while challenging the sources of that exploitation. This thesis emphasizes the significance of Oromo literature, education, and the adoption of Protestant Christianity in Wallaga region in Western Ethiopia during the early twentieth century as a means of preserving Oromo language, culture, and beliefs.

The study was aimed at investigating challenges hampering mother-tongue education with special reference to Afan Oromo in the Eastern Hararge Zone, the Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. The study mainly explored the available learning materials and the skilled teachers in mother-tongue education, attitudinal factors, the extent of stakeholders’ support for mother-tongue education, parents’ education and their awareness about education through mother tongue and parent school involvements. In the study, the researcher used a mixed method approach in which both quantitative and qualitative research designs were employed to corroborate the data obtained through one method by using other methods to minimise limitations observed in a single design. In the quantitative design, survey questionnaires were employed. Accordingly, 634 primary school teachers and 134 students were randomly selected and asked to fill the questionnaires. These quantitative data were analysed through the SPSS software and responses were analysed using the percentages and the chi-square. Qualitative data obtained through in-depth interviews and observations were analysed using thematic approaches. Documents on education policy, constitutions of the country and reports of the Ministry of Education of Ethiopia were also consulted and integrated with the analyses of the data. The study generally suggests unless strong political and administrative supports are given and public awareness about the mother tongue use in education and development is created, the effort to make Afan Oromo the language of education, intellectuals and development may remain fruitless. In this respect, all the stakeholders, intellectuals and leaders must work together to overcome challenges and dilemmas that impede the implementation of mother-tongue education. The practical works on the ground should match with the language policy of the country.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter is devoted to Oromo, the Cushitic language with the highest number of speakers, which is also used as a second language in several areas of Ethiopia. After an introductory section on its history, sociolinguistics, dialectology and a brief survey of previous research, several aspects of its phonetics and phonology are discussed, also taking into account dialect variation. After a discussion of the official orthography of Oromo, and segmental and tonal sandhi, verbal and nominal morphology are analyzed, and other word classes such as adjectives, interrogatives and quantifiers are discussed. Then derivational morphology and compounds are surveyed. Furthermore, the structure of declarative and interrogative simple sentences, as well as coordination, co-subordination, and subordination are surveyed. After the discussion of focus phenomena and definiteness, agreement and phrasal case marking are surveyed in the final section.

Abstract:
Since most of the existing major search engines and commercial Information Retrieval (IR) systems are primarily designed for well-resourced European and Asian languages, they have paid little attention to the development of Cross-Language Information Access (CLIA) technologies for resource-scarce African languages. This paper presents the authors' experience in building CLIA for indigenous African languages, with a special focus on the development and evaluation of Oromo-English-CLIR. The authors have adopted a knowledge-based query translation approach to design and implement their initial Oromo-English CLIR (OMEN-CLIR). Apart from designing and building the first OMEN-CLIR from scratch, another major contribution of this study is assessing the performance of the proposed retrieval system at one of the well-recognized international Cross-Language Evaluation Forums like the CLEF campaign. The overall performance of OMEN-CLIR was found to be very promising and encouraging, given the limited amount of linguistic resources available for severely under-resourced African languages like Afaan Oromo.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter examines the status of linguistic avoidance in the languages of Ethiopia. It offers a brief introduction regarding linguistic taboo and addresses topics related to them with examples from Ethiopian languages. The chapter also discusses the linguistic avoidance of in-laws, noting that it is widespread among speakers of Highland East Cushitic (HEC) languages—e.g. Sidaama, Kambaata, Hadiyya—and also in the nearby Arsi Oromo variety. It details the linguistic avoidance of in-laws in three Ethiopian languages: Sidaama, Kambaata, and Oromo. This chapter also reviews the less strict form of avoidance language in a few Semitic languages. Ultimately, the chapter elaborates on the avoidance of animal names and names of older kin (whether consanguine or not) in many Ethiopian languages. It also studies the taboo of body parts, sexual activity, and effluvia.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter looks into Sezo (endonym: Seez Waani), an endangered Omotic language spoken by the Seezi people living in remote villages of Begi and Qondala districts in the West Wollegga Zone, Oromia Regional State. Since Sezo is mostly used by the elder generation, and largely restricted for communication at home, the level of bilingualism in Oromo is high, especially since Oromo is used as a language for wider communication, schooling, and administration. Literacy in Sezo does not exist. The phonological inventory of Sezo includes twenty-four consonants, five vowels with contrastive length, and two level tones. Morphologically, the language is agglutinating with clear-cut morpheme boundaries in words. It is a nominative-accusative language in which the nominative is always morphologically marked, and formally differs from the accusative. Structurally, Sezo exhibits S(O)V constituent order. At phrasal and clausal level, modifiers precede heads, possessor nouns precede possessed nouns and dependent clauses precede main clauses.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter describes the Nilo-Saharan language, Northern Gumuz (NoG), that forms part of the broader Gumuz dialect cluster spoken across northwestern Ethiopia and southeastern Republic of Sudan. The speakers of NoG live side-by-side among ethnic groups who speak other mother tongue languages such as Amharic, Awngi, Shinasha and Oromo. Debates arise regarding the inclusion of the Gumuz languages (and the broader B’aga language family) in the Nilo-Saharan phylum. While the basic phonology and syntax of the language are described here, some unusual characteristics of the language include complex verb stems comprised of a verb root and (historical) noun root. Some of these historical noun roots (that form complex verb stems) have grammaticalized as verbal classifiers, making Gumuz the only language(s) in Africa documented with such a classifier system.
