The Omo–Tana languages are a branch of the Cushitic family and are spoken in Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia and Kenya. The largest member is Somali. There is some debate as to whether the Omo–Tana languages form a single group, or whether they are individual branches of Lowland East Cushitic. Blench (2006) restricts the name to the Western Omo–Tana languages, and calls the others Macro-Somali.[1][2]

Internal classification


Mauro Tosco (2012)[3] proposes the following internal classification of the Omo-Tana languages. Tosco considers Omo-Tama to consist of a Western branch and an Eastern ("Somaloid") branch, which is a dialect chain of various Somali languages and the Rendille–Boni languages (see also Macro-Somali languages).

Omo-Tana

Les langues omo-tana sont une branche de la famille des langues couchitiques et sont parlées en Éthiopie, à Djibouti, en Somalie, au Somaliland et au Kenya. La langue omo-tana la plus parlée est le somalien . Il y a un débat quant à savoir si les langues omo-tana forment un seul groupe, ou si elles sont chacune des branches individuelles des langues couchitiques orientales des basses terres. Blench (2006) restreint le nom aux langues occidentales omo-tana et appelle les autres macro-somali[1], [2].
