		The Anuak,, the Konso, the Sidamo, the Suri, and the Tigrai are a few of the other ethnic groups known in Ethiopia.
		Like many other Ethiopians, the Oromo are Cushites, speaking a Cushitic language called Oromo, and have been part of Ethiopia since the sixteenth century when they migrated northward into the country by what was described by a contemporary as a “series of raids.” These raids were gradually followed by a period of permanent settlement.

	Exerts From "Amharic Verb Morphology: A Generative Approach"
		The eight named languages might be considered the major Ethiopian languages: they account for about 5/6 of the total population, and no other language exceeds 500,000 speakers.
		Not only are the languages spoken by most Ethiopians genetically related, but (as Ferguson 1970 and 1976 has shown) the phenomenon of diffusion of traits over a large area has resulted in even more sharing of common features than one would expect among languages of three coordinate branches of a super-family.
		The conquering Semitic-speakers spoke a language which was perhaps only four to seven centuries removed from a common origin with Giiz, the classical language of the Aksum Empire and of Medieval Ethiopian religion and literature.

	Using Language Identifiers (RFC 3066)
		Language identifiers as specified by RFC 3066, can have the form language, language-country, language-country-variant and some other specialized forms.
		Some languages have no significant variations, and therefore can be adequately represented by a language subtag alone, as opposed to a language subtag and country subtag.
		Some languages differ by region and therefore a language subtag and country subtag may be used to identify the language more precisely.
