This publication describes the usage of languages in the
multilingual society of Ethiopia. It is based on empirical studies
conducted in nine states of the Federal Democratic Republic of
Ethiopia in 1997 and 1998. A research team of German and Ethiopian
scholars surveyed about 3,500 high school students from 35
Ethiopian towns regarding their language behaviour. The data on the
distribution of mother tongues and second languages are published
here for the first time and are representative for a typical
Ethiopian town. These data outline the development of
multilingualism over three generations
(students/parents/grandparents) and elucidate factors which promote
the spread of multilingualism. The frame for the representation and
explanation of the data is an adapted model of the social network
theory.
