Bahador, thanks for another great video. I would like to thank the ladies who participated this great video. Thank you. You did the Somali and Oromo speakers proud. 🇸🇴
@@kibetrobert1633 none. Maasai, Tutsi, Ankole, Kalenjin, and a few others are considered “Nilo-Hamatic”. A fake term used to describe mixed tribes between different Africans, in this case Nilotic, Cushitic, & Bantu.
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.
As half Somali and half Oromo, I am so proud to see this video. I have seen some comments that kinda of saying "all Oromo are Christian", I just want to say that we are both Muslim and Christian. Love the similarities between my two languages. I wish love and peace between Somalis and Oromo😍💙💚💛♥, and unity for us cushitic people.

Yea, the rich Cushitic history, culture, language, etc is so underrated and I hope great researchers like yourselves will shed more light on it. Thank you as well.
I have been waiting to see this Af-Soomaali Vs Afaan-Oromo. I am not surprised about the similarities of the two. Both are Cushitic and have been living together for thousand of years. Peace and love to you both. It would be awesome if you also do Either Afar or Saho Vs Oromo and Somali.
I am so happy to finally see this even though I am from the south of Africa and speak a completely different language. It's time you came to Africa, thank you.
All the oromo people live here in hargeisa somaliland they learn the somali language very fast when they arrive they can all most understand every word you said to them.
Amazing!!! I always knew our languages were so similar! It makes me think that there was a point in time where we were one people group with the other Cushitic speakers like the Afar and Sidamo. Could we have one BIG comparison of several Cushitic languages?
Somali, Oromo, Afar, Sidamo, beja, and all other Cushitic languages are all descended from Old Hamito-Semitic languages the common ancestor of all Cushitic languages spoken today. They are closely related, and largely mutually intelligible.we share Blood, language,history and ancestry brother we are Cushates
Been waiting for this. Arabic and Somali don’t have a lot in common and are mainly loan words but Somali and Oromo are both Cushitic so there’s a lot more similarities which makes it all the more interesting. 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.
most of arabic words have somali equivalent just some religios terms like soon and nabi didn't exist in the somali language but salad=tukasho shikh-wadad allah=waaq eebe sharci=xeer cadalad=gar kursi=ganbar khatar=halis isticmaal=adegsi ixtiraam=tixgalin xushmayn subax=saka alasey aroryo duhur=barqo casar=galab makhrib=fiid cishe=habeen as you can see most of arabic words they have somali equivalent so arabic influence isn't that great if you go the rural area you wouldn't find any arabic words it's just the coastal area where you can find arabic words like bossaso berbara city becouse they are port cities so somali language is rich langauge and ancient language
I think you need to study Arabic first only than you will fine the similarity Somali has many Arabic words even there are one particular alphabet that is exclusively Arabic the letter KH' all words starts with kh is Arabic origin So Somali is kind of mixture of Arabic and Oromo.
@@AA-el4pq Are you ok? somalis have never been arabs 🤣. We are cushitic culturally, linguistically and genetically. A few tribes pretend to be arabs to say they are related the prophet Mohammad S.A.W.
@@braveboy8857 You shouldn't conflate oppressed peoples of Ethiopia with the oppressive government of Ethiopia. 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.
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.
Marjorie, Facts are fact. It doesn't change if the two are friends or enemies. And the fact is these two languages have same roots. How come counting is the same. It is more than coincidence . Kow, laba, sadeh, afar, Shan, lih, todoba, sideed, sagaal, toban. This is 1, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Ther are in Somali. I am sure promo is the same.
demxa85 That's the 'root'of the problem. Some tend to focus on the differences instead of our similarities. We both speak Cushitic languages, share a myriad of cultural traits & more importantly, we are genetically connected. I agree with you on the points mentioned - Thank You.
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). Great work guys. Jazaka Allahu. I learnt something new. 👍👍

Huge fan of Somalia, 🇸🇴 I wish I could go there for vacation. I googled some pictures of Somalia and it is breathtakingly beautiful! 💙🤍💙🤍 Wish Somalis could unite and put their small differences aside, if they do, they'd be unstoppable. Greetings to the Oromo people as well.
Of course you can come ❤❤ a lot oromos live there and have buissnesses we cant even tell the diffrence between each other hahaha, there in somaliland and somalia
Oromo you see you are not Ethiopians...stop copying our culture...you are not Ethiopians so stop imitating our beautiful culture..leave us alone you poor imitators.
Borane yes but these modern Oromo we don’t know em Samaale is ancestor of hawiye and other clans he buried in land between two Rivera’s East of Jubba river near river 1450s years Borane are also related to us the old folklore is that borane moved west wards between the two rivers This was during 7th CE They kept their Waaq tradition Borane was brother of dhinsame acc to proff at snu Saabe had dhinsame And borane They related Borane elders won’t deny it Sabe went south he left the Berbera area Then headed south Samale is younger brother many years younger This was during 7th CE Samale got married and his chidrken went southward Inbetween two rivers
@@ccc-uk2nu yh baseless Arab abeed myths This proff AbdulKadir Salad Ali dorre at snu a geophysicist and historian talks about pre Islam history fuckin shit He knows so much
Yeah it was the dialect... In the South they say qabtaa but in the north its leedahay/haysataa/dhashay. So the oromo sentence was more similar to the southern somali dialect... I understood straight away though even though I am from the North
@@Deeqa247 I'm northern Darod, you can say qabtaa depending on context, like when you say 'imisa xaas baad qabtaa/leedahay/haysataa/guursatay' or asking a question like xaas ma qabtaa?
I’m Sidama/Gedeo/Oromo and I’m curious to learn more about Somalis, the media has a very bad description on you guys so it’s hard to find good information on you guys. But anyways Cushitic will be one ☝️ one day. But for that to happen we need better government!
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.
Cushitic languages split into 4 parts Northern= Beja Central= Agaw 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 oromo and I realy appreciated the fact that you create this platforms to compare the two cousins language .. As per I live in a place more somal lives I will learn Af somali, it will only takes me learning little vocabulary and more sentence making
This work magaalaa or magaalo is of Cush origin, only greeks call megalos because they used to live and inherit some cultural and societal habits from ancient Egypt. Not only megalos but greeks use many words of cush origin. The word magaalo means civilization, megaalo is also city in english. Ancient Egypt had huge civil structures and no civilization paralleled with it, that is why Greeks borrowed megalo from ancient Egypt
We were first able puntites who builded ancien Egyte, then Greece (geerik= dead see the geography of greece and turquie that look like decapitated man). Some of the ancien greek came back to conquer Egypt and rule it. Later in - 633 when king pasmmetique (besmatak) was defeated by persian many egyptians together with more than 30 000 ancien greeks (allies) came down all the way to "ta Natjer" (properly "Dan-yarta". "Dan" = "atlantis" "yarta" = "little". De word danyarta means now not only "poor people" but also indique the simplicity and abnégation of religious peoples. Don't fotget that ta Natjer means also "land of our divine ancestors", the Horn of Africa. Excuse me for my English. J'écris normalement en français.

I really loved this video. One of these days I hope to create a similar video involving lesser known languages within a historical context. Keep them coming!
@@chynkz924 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).
@@XalaalSomalis Oromo or afaan Oromo is dominated by its counterpart Amharic , but Somal got a chance that is why Somali is more famous and it's available on google translate while Oromo is not like that
@@Cabdirxamaan_Garanwaa252 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.
@@AtrueservantofAllah Everything points to Oromo and Somali being related, despite what some kids who have no understanding of the depth of their culture and language say. And no amount of political disagreements between the two people can change this basic fact.
@Real Talk ofcourse there is going to be some variations in looks. I mean Somalis , Oromos and Afars themselves look different within themselves. It’s just the Cushitic language and people have a similarity in looks and culture/traditions etc
Aren’t Hebrew and Arabic more close to each other than any other Semitic languages? It’s not a big deal but i am sure Afar is more related to Somali than Oromo.
@@MohamedHassan-gy5wy you would think so but that's probably not true, according to the research I did Af Somali shares the most mutual intelligibility with Afan Oromo. The languages only diverged 2000/3000 years ago
I'm somali, to be honest few years ago I thought Oromo are just one of the somali clans and one of us😁 Till now I consider Oromiyaa as brothers and sisters. One love💙💛
I'm somali, I love Oromian brothers & Sisters. I shocked this Vedio, I wasn't think that Our languages are so Close 95% Very interesting. Thanks to the Girls. The last sentence the same " I have 9 children" In Somali "Sagaal ilmaa ayaan qabaa "
My first time to know this much similarities between Somali & Oromo languages . I know there similarities between Saho , an Eritrean Language and Somali language . Thanks for the info.
It’s not Ethiopian language these both languages are named Somali and Oromo. Their is nothing called ethopian language don’t impose your facist idea on us. We are proud of our ancestors and the languages they use to speak and we still speak it just like your ancestors use to speak Amharic and you still speak it. Soon all of us will be free and and go back to or roots!!!

Oh nice Bahador Jan, I just came after seeing the Hindi-Burmese video. I never knew abt these two languages, though we know abt Ethiopia's rich history and it's unique alphabet, but sadly I don't know much abt Somalia, except the war. U learn something new everyday. Sadly, very few countries frm Africa like Egypt, Marrakech, Ethiopia and South-Africa get mentions in our school history books, this is not applicable for the Geography and climate of Africa. We have got to focus on Asia as well. And of course, both the speakers are beautiful and talented. Greetings frm India 🇮🇳 to both the speakers.भारत आपसे प्यार करता है:)।

I am somali and so happy someone showed somali people and ormo people are the same people if they knew they history and who they are, they will be shocked 😲 I promise you look into you would love ❤. We are the biggest family in East Africa one family
Oromo’s are close to Somalis but them being the closet to Somalis is incorrect! Afari and the Rendille people are the closest to Somalis! Where some people say that the Afari and the Somalis split about 6 thousand years ago where the Oromo is much longer. Also, the Rendille are very close even claiming that they come from Somalis!
NO stop lying !!! Oromos are close to Borana Kenyas than they are to Somalis. This have nothing to do with Islam. You were culturally different to begin with. Almost half of the Oromos are Islam , but non of them have lost their culture.

Masha’Allah both sisters are pretty😍 and also I’m in shock never knew that Somali and Oromo are similar it’s so embarrassing to say I also have best friend who is half Oromo and half Somali but we only speak somali tho😊
Both with Afar and Sidamo are Eastern Cushitic, Central Cushitic is Agaw, North is Beja and Southern Cushitic is Iraqw which is spoken in Tanzania. We have to learn more sis.
I am Jamaican and I am VERY PROUD OF MY AFRICAN ORIGIN I hope that in the future all the people of EAST AFRICA will unite into one FEDERATION OF NATIONS . I LOVE THE NILOTIC CUSHITE PEOPLE. I WISH I WAS BORN IN EAST AFRICA. I CAN ONLY ADOPT THE REGION AS MY SECOND HOME
I always thought Arabic was unique in it's phonemes and letters. It's fascinating to know that many phonemes of Arabic is shared with many other Afro-Asiatic Languages.
@@nunuissa6376 most of those words they have somali equivalent and somali script was osmaniya not arabic most of somali people didn't used arabic script somali is somali arabic is arabic we are differet
Somali and Oromo are basically Cushite and their languages sound the same. It is like comparing a Bantu language in Kenya, like Kiswahili for Instance, with a South African bantu Language like Zulu. Some words will definitely mean the same thing or sound familiar to speakers of each Bantu language.
This somali girl here speaks the northern dialect cuz I understood when the Oromo girl said I have 5 kid in her language it sounded similar to somali but the somali girl couldn’t understand she did good with other words tho I really wana see Hindi and somali that’s gonna be funny and entertaining
It's very interesting that the vocabulary seems to be very similar, almost the same, but the sentence structures definitely seemed to throw the participants off. This was really fun to watch.
Somali is definitely the most beautiful language of/in Africa. One of my favourite singers is from that country and all her music is in Somali. Long live to Somalia!! Somalia has something that fascinates me and I still don't know what. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😆😆😊😊🤗🤗😍😍🤩🤩😍😍
I think because Sudan ancient people are Cuchitic as well as Oromo in Ethiopia and somali people May be there are more similar word between Sudan and other cushitic people
Don't forget to learn your mother language. Walaalo! Edit: I think she means she knows 5 languages not including Somali, not that she can't speak her own language 😅. 6 languages, impressive. But I guess you need to practice your english more!
@@knowsomething-b8d he’s lying oromo and somali aren’t same blood they are different Even before the islam the use to our religion waaqism then we accepted islam ☪️

That's why somali and oromo are brothers
Also rendille language accent is similar to somali language accent
In the af May Somali dialect those letters are also not there.
Albaab came from arabic word it is not somali word
As half Somali and half Oromo, I am so proud to see this video. I have seen some comments that kinda of saying "all Oromo are Christian", I just want to say that we are both Muslim and Christian. Love the similarities between my two languages.

Somali, Oromo, Afar, Sidamo, beja, and all other Cushitic languages are all descended from Old Hamito-Semitic languages the common ancestor of all Cushitic languages spoken today. They are closely related, and largely mutually intelligible.we share Blood, language,history and ancestry brother we are Cushates
@@mohbulshaawi597 indeed my brother
eeyee haadho koo.
could be the khat working up your head.
No doubt, we're one people but we've been segregated by Abbysinian occupation and colonialism.
Been waiting for this. Arabic and Somali don’t have a lot in common and are mainly loan words but Somali and Oromo are both Cushitic so there’s a lot more similarities which makes it all the more interesting. 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.
it's because somalis wanna be like Arabs so badly, its embarrassing
@@sumayasaid3715 it’s because of trade are u okay
most of arabic words have somali equivalent just some religios terms like soon and nabi didn't exist in the somali language but salad=tukasho shikh-wadad allah=waaq eebe sharci=xeer cadalad=gar kursi=ganbar khatar=halis isticmaal=adegsi ixtiraam=tixgalin xushmayn subax=saka alasey aroryo duhur=barqo casar=galab makhrib=fiid cishe=habeen as you can see most of arabic words they have somali equivalent so arabic influence isn't that great if you go the rural area you wouldn't find any arabic words it's just the coastal area where you can find arabic words like bossaso berbara city becouse they are port cities so somali language is rich langauge and ancient language
I think you need to study Arabic first only than you will fine the similarity Somali has many Arabic words even there are one particular alphabet that is exclusively Arabic the letter KH' all words starts with kh is Arabic origin So Somali is kind of mixture of Arabic and Oromo.

@@braveboy8857 You shouldn't conflate oppressed peoples of Ethiopia with the oppressive government of Ethiopia.
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.

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.
Marjorie,
Facts are fact. It doesn't change if the two are friends or enemies. And the fact is these two languages have same roots.
How come counting is the same. It is more than coincidence
. Kow, laba, sadeh, afar, Shan, lih, todoba, sideed, sagaal, toban.
This is 1, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Ther are in Somali.
I am sure promo is the same.
demxa85
That's the 'root'of the problem. Some tend to focus on the differences instead of our similarities. We both speak Cushitic languages, share a myriad of cultural traits & more importantly, we are genetically connected.
I agree with you on the points mentioned - Thank You.
Was waiting for something like this. Hopefully, there will be multiple Cushitic languages comparison.
Yeah, this was way too short. Wished it was longer and it included Afaan Afar as well.
Wwwooww👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍😍🌷🌷🌲🌷🌷
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).
Great work guys. Jazaka Allahu. I learnt something new. 👍👍
It’s not unbelievable 😂😂😂they’re both Cushitic languages
Ciyaal/Cayaal is Arabic not a somali word, originally.

@@benjamintamsa3701 god willing
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.
But are most Oromo people not Ethiopian?

Somali and oromo languages had been same languages until they split into two different langugaes sometime ago.
Cushitic languages split into 4 parts Northern= Beja
Central= Agaw
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.
Interestingly:
Oromo: baldi
Somali: baaldi
Hindi: baaltee
Malay: baldi
Tagalog: balde
Portuguese: balde
Oromo:dhiiga
Somali: dhiig
Tagalog: dugo
Thanks Bahador for these wonderful videos!

This work magaalaa or magaalo is of Cush origin, only greeks call megalos because they used to live and inherit some cultural and societal habits from ancient Egypt. Not only megalos but greeks use many words of cush origin. The word magaalo means civilization, megaalo is also city in english. Ancient Egypt had huge civil structures and no civilization paralleled with it, that is why Greeks borrowed megalo from ancient Egypt
Damn
We were first able puntites who builded ancien Egyte, then Greece (geerik= dead see the geography of greece and turquie that look like decapitated man). Some of the ancien greek came back to conquer Egypt and rule it. Later in - 633 when king pasmmetique (besmatak) was defeated by persian many egyptians together with more than 30 000 ancien greeks (allies) came down all the way to "ta Natjer" (properly "Dan-yarta". "Dan" = "atlantis"
"yarta" = "little".
De word danyarta means now not only "poor people" but also indique the simplicity and abnégation of religious peoples.
Don't fotget that ta Natjer means also "land of our divine ancestors", the Horn of Africa.

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).
@@XalaalSomalis Oromo or afaan Oromo is dominated by its counterpart Amharic , but Somal got a chance that is why Somali is more famous and it's available on google translate while Oromo is not like that
@@Cabdirxamaan_Garanwaa252
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 think Somalis and Oromo were once the same people, but way back split.
No we Somalis are not related to Oromos
@@AtrueservantofAllah Everything points to Oromo and Somali being related, despite what some kids who have no understanding of the depth of their culture and language say. And no amount of political disagreements between the two people can change this basic fact.

Phenotypes vary between these groups, but the languages are of the same family and they do share common genetic and cultural history.
@Real Talk ofcourse there is going to be some variations in looks. I mean Somalis , Oromos and Afars themselves look different within themselves. It’s just the Cushitic language and people have a similarity in looks and culture/traditions etc
I didn’t know that Somali and Oromo languages share that much similarities
Aren’t Hebrew and Arabic more close to each other than any other Semitic languages?

Masha’Allah both sisters are pretty😍 and also I’m in shock never knew that Somali and Oromo are similar it’s so embarrassing to say I also have best friend who is half Oromo and half Somali but we only speak somali tho😊
Both with Afar and Sidamo are Eastern Cushitic, Central Cushitic is Agaw, North is Beja and Southern Cushitic is Iraqw which is spoken in Tanzania.
We have to learn more sis.
@@MohamedHassan-gy5wy Insha’Allah brother thank you for telling me :)
I am Jamaican and I am VERY PROUD OF MY AFRICAN ORIGIN
I hope that in the future all the people of EAST AFRICA will unite into one FEDERATION OF NATIONS . I LOVE THE NILOTIC CUSHITE PEOPLE. I WISH I WAS BORN IN EAST AFRICA. I CAN ONLY ADOPT THE REGION AS MY SECOND HOME
Thanks bro, but honestly people in the horn of Africa are so tribalistic. It's a real shame
We oromo and somali are one family walahi cushitic one love
I am Italian i can speak somali and oromo language, perfectly than native oromo and somali
Sei sicuro?

I always thought Arabic was unique in it's phonemes and letters. It's fascinating to know that many phonemes of Arabic is shared with many other Afro-Asiatic Languages.
Yes like baaldi, in Qatari Arabic accent

Somalis share many things in common with Arabic since that's their origin.
I learned from your channel that Somali is different from Arabic. Thanks for the info.
somali is cushitic language arabic is semitic they are all afro asiatic languages
@@gureyleaxmed317 thnx. yes but I used to think Somali was an Arabic dialect
We have words in Arabic in Somali language too they just didn’t say it. We even wrote Somali in Arabic back in the days. It is called waadad
@@nunuissa6376 most of those words they have somali equivalent and somali script was osmaniya not arabic most of somali people didn't used arabic script somali is somali arabic is arabic we are differet
No somali is very similar to Arabic. He had made a Video before Arabic vs Somali, But unfortunately he was forced to remove the Video.
Somali and Oromo are basically Cushite and their languages sound the same. It is like comparing a Bantu language in Kenya, like Kiswahili for Instance, with a South African bantu Language like Zulu. Some words will definitely mean the same thing or sound familiar to speakers of each Bantu language.
Somali and oromo are way closer than you can imagine. But accent makes it look like strange
@@asalkagahagafin4049 afar as well
Oromos are Cushitic but Somalis aren't
@@AA-el4pq WTF
@@AA-el4pq WHAT ARE SOMALIS THAN? THEY'RE CUSHATIC YOU CAN SEARCH IT UP
IF YOU WANT
This somali girl here speaks the northern dialect cuz I understood when the Oromo girl said I have 5 kid in her language it sounded similar to somali but the somali girl couldn’t understand she did good with other words tho I really wana see Hindi and somali that’s gonna be funny and entertaining
Aside from a few Arabic loanwords, there's literally no similarity between Hindi/Urdu and Somali in vocabulary.
It's very interesting that the vocabulary seems to be very similar, almost the same, but the sentence structures definitely seemed to throw the participants off. This was really fun to watch.
From Somalia 🇸🇴 Abyo weliga wadankada ku fan m.a calankena dhax kenty Shaqa ficana wadaa keep going walashe 🇸🇴🙋♂️
Somali is definitely the most beautiful language of/in Africa. One of my favourite singers is from that country and all her music is in Somali.
Long live to Somalia!!
Somalia has something that fascinates me and I still don't know what.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😆😆😊😊🤗🤗😍😍🤩🤩😍😍
Wow wonderful video thanks dude 🇸🇴😻
Interesting!!!
Shimbira Bird we call it in Sudan ( Simbirya) it is ( Stork) in English
Where in Sudan?
I think because Sudan ancient people are Cuchitic as well as Oromo in Ethiopia and somali people
May be there are more similar word between Sudan and other cushitic people
As a somalilander , I love my sisters and brothers of the Oromo ❤
To all the good people of whatever nationality on the world.. I love you as well ❤
Stfu you beg. No one has an idea what a “Somalilander” is. Stay in your lane
Idoor Oromo
Thank you for this wonderful similarities
Thanks bahador and the two ladies who participate in high level education.
I'm somali I speak 5 languages except my mother tongue I can speak English Italian Spanish swedish Arabic I like to learn languages very well🖤🇸🇴
But u don't know ur own tho lol. Why would u learn Swedish before somali lol? Just curious. Are u embarrassed of being east African?
Don't forget to learn your mother language. Walaalo!
Edit: I think she means she knows 5 languages not including Somali, not that she can't speak her own language 😅. 6 languages, impressive. But I guess you need to practice your english more!
@@leanmeanmenace1744 she said except her mother language hhhh
@@leanmeanmenace1744 there’s a lot somali who’s refugees around the world so thing they are Swedish so shame
