5 Fascinating Facts About The Oromo Language and Culture

Oromo, also known as Afaan Oromoo, and Oromiffa, is a language from the Cushitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family, and the third most widely spoken language in Africa, after Arabic and Hausa. The Oromo people are the largest ethnic group in Ethiopia. They are indigenous African people who have maintained their cultural identity and language despite the Oromo language being forbidden for much of the 20th century.
