  • Can Somali and Oromo speakers understand each other or other Cushitic languages such as Beja, Afar, Hadiyya, Kambaata, Saho, and Sidama? In this episode we showcase some of the similarities between Oromo (Afaan Oromoo), which is one of the official languages of Ethiopia, native to the Ethiopian state of Oromia and primarily spoken in Ethiopia and northeastern Kenya, and Somali (Af Soomaali), which is the official language of Somalia and Somaliland, and also spoken in Djibouti, and parts of Ethiopia and Kenya. A list of words and sentences will be given to Quxube (Oromo speaker) and Ramla (Somali speaker) to see how well they can understand one another.

    Oromo and Somali have the highest number of speakers among all the Cushitic languages.
    Somali (Af Soomaali), as a Cushitic language in the Afroasiatic language family, is mainly spoken in Somalia and Somaliland, as well as Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Yemen. The language is written using the Latin alphabet. The adoption of the Latin orthography as the official national alphabet over several other previous writing scripts took place in 1972. Besides the Latin script, the Arabic and Wadaad scripts were used for writing the Somali language. The current Latin script was developed by several scholars of Somali, such as Musa Haji Ismail Galal, B. W. Andrzejewski and Shire Jama Ahmed, and it uses all letters of the English Latin alphabet except p, v and z. Other writing systems such as the Osmanya (invented by Osman Yusuf Kenadid), Borama (by Abdurahman Sheikh Nuur) and Kaddare alphabets (by Hussein Sheikh Ahmed Kaddare) were developed to write the Somali language as well.
    Oromo (Afaan Oromoo) is primarily spoken in Ethiopia and northeastern Kenya. In Ethiopia, it has the largest number of native speaker, and is second to Amharic in the total number of speakers in the country. There are several different varieties of the language, stretching all across Ethiopia and Kenya. Although Oromo is written with a Latin alphabet called Qubee (formally adopted in 1991), in the past the Sapalo script was used, invented by Sheikh Bakri Sapalo (Abubaker Usman Odaa), and in some cases, within Muslim majority areas, the Arabic script is sometimes used.

    As a Somali, I'm shocked by the similarity. I knew that the two languages share a lot but was not expecting to be so huge. The Somali lady missed to recall that there's a Somali word similar to the Oromo word qabadii (to have). Its Somali equivalent is 'qabaa'. Therefore, if you want to say in Somali: I have nine children, it would be: sagaal ilmo ayaan qabaa. However, there are letters in Somali native language, which are not in Oromo. For example, the letter 'C' which sounds like Arabic letter ع; letter 'X' which sounds like Arabic letter ح; and letter 'kh' which sounds like Arabic letter خ.

    Been waiting for this.

You should try Afar next (another Cushitic language) and compare it to Oromo and/or Somali.

      Not true.
      Somali shares words with many languages both roots and loans
      Arabic and Somali are Afroasiatic languages.
      Cushitic/Semitic etc is not based on shared words alone but how words and sentences are congregated and grammar.
      Beja and Somali have almost zero words or even Agew and Somali.

      Aside from Amhara every group was oppressed. Haile Selasse oppressed Tigrayans, then the Tigrayans came to power and oppressed others, now the Tigrayans are removed and are oppressed themselves. Abiy is Oromo but majority of Oromo hate him. There's been regional conflicts between Somali and Oromo herders and farmers in Ethiopia but that is because of competition over grazing/farming land because of famine, droughts and poverty, all of which are the government's duty to solve but they never did. Ethiopia needs to be made into a confederation rather than a federation.

    It's unbelievable how similar the two languages are. And the Orama sentence for ' I /you have 9 children' is exactly the same. In somali you can say children with withe 'ilmo' or 'ciyaal". Also the word "have" can be in somali "haastaa" as the somali girl translated or "qabta" (if saying you have) or "qabaa" (if saying I have). There is also a third word for "have" and that is "leeyahay" (if saying I have) or "leedahay" (if saying you have).

    Very interesting. You could just see the sheer delight on their faces when they recognised or knew the meaning of the word/phrase. They were both genuinely engaged & more importantly, willing to learn from each other. Both languages are very similar. We have far more similarities than differences. Unfortunately, we tend to focus more on the differences. If we come with the mindset of love & objectivity, it will undoubtedly change our perspective. We will begin to see people for who they truly are, instead of the preconceived notions we hold. Both are beautiful & intelligent. Well done.

      Eastern= Afar,Sidamo, Oromo and Soomaali/Rendille
      Southern= Iraqw
      We can’t say Oromo and Soomaali split into languages because we don’t know when they were one.
      Fo example:
      Linguists say Aramaic is the ancestor of Hebrew/Assyrian and Arabic, and also Ge؟ez is ancestor of Tigrinya,Tigre and Amharic because both Aramaic and Ge؟ez are well documented, but the Cushitic languages have no earlier documentation which makes hard for the linguists to trace back their ancestor Proto-Cushitic.

      I’m Somali and confirm your statement to be true. The Oromo language is spoken by Oromos and other ethnicities residing in the Oromiya state of Ethiopia, Dire Dawa, Harar, and Addis. It is also spoken by the Borenas and other closely linked communities of Kenya’s NFD(Gare, Guji, and Gabra). That translates to roughly a 45million Oromo speakers, which is well above Somali speakers (the 2nd most spoken Cushitic language).

      You are right! The reason why Somali is more readily available than Oromiffa is related to the political oppression of the Oromos in Ethiopia, whereas Somali is the official language of Somalia. The academic language for all Ethiopians was official Amharic until about 30years ago. In fact, the first time Afaan Oromo was broadcasted was from Radio Mogadishu. Also, the significant Somali diaspora presence, many of whom rely heavily on the Somali language, and the need to serviced them has helped advance the accuracy of the Somali Google translation service. As afaan Oromo has gained prominence in Ethiopia, it will have the opportunity to grow as well. It is rightly being adopted as one of the Ethiopian languages (along with Somali, Tigrinya, and Afari in addition to Amharic). It has been the official language of Oromiya for nearly three decades.

    I’m a big fun of your show. Thank you so much for doing something I’ve been thinking about for so long. You supposed to use the Oromia flag, NOT Ethiopian flag because Oromo is spoken outside Ethiopia and she said I’m from Oromia.
    There’re many common features and similarities between Oromo and Somali languages, especially the eastern and southern dialects of Oromo exhibit and share lot of similarities with Somali, in terms of sharing cognate words and even pronunciations. To illustrate this with the word used in the video, both balbala and albaaba are used in the Borana (southern Oromo) dialect for the word “door”. In a conversation, the last “a” that comes at the end of the word is often dropped, sounding more like Somali. For example, dhiiga sounds “dhiig” and shimbira like shimbir and so on.
    In the Oromo sentence “ Ilmaan sagal qabdi,” the verb is “qabdi” (a conjugation for third person singular feminine pronoun ), which comes from the root verb “qab(a)”, which is in Somali “qab(o)”, meaning to have in both languages.

We have got to focus on Asia as well. And of course, both the speakers are beautiful and talented.
