Argobba language
Argobba
is an
Ethiopian Semitic
language spoken in an area north-east of
Addis Ababa
by the
Argobba people
. It belongs to the
South Ethiopian Semitic
subgroup together with
Amharic
and the
Gurage languages
. Writing in the mid-1960s,
Edward Ullendorff
noted that it "is disappearing rapidly in favour of
Amharic
, and only a few hundred elderly people are still able to speak it." Today, many Argobba in the Harari region are shifting to the
Oromo language
.
