This handbook provides a comprehensive account of the languages
spoken in Ethiopia, exploring both their structures and features
and their function and use in society. The first part of the volume
provides background and general information relating to Ethiopian
languages, including their demographic distribution and
classification, language policy, scripts and writing, and language
endangerment. Subsequent parts are dedicated to the four major
language families in Ethiopia - Cushitic, Ethiosemitic,
Nilo-Saharan, and Omotic - and contain studies of individual
languages, with an initial introductory overview chapter in each
part. Both major and less-documented languages are included,
ranging from Amharic and Oromo to Zay, Gawwada, and Yemsa. The
final part explores languages that are outside of those four
families, namely Ethiopian Sign Language, Ethiopian English, and
Arabic. With its international team of senior researchers and
junior scholars, The Oxford Handbook of Ethiopian Languages will
appeal to anyone interested in the languages of the region and in
African linguistics more broadly.
