The two branches are grouped together here on the same basis the report itself proposes, since Omotic is sometimes analyzed in the literature as a divergent subset of Cushitic rather than a fully independent branch. Placement follows each member's own description naming it Cushitic or Omotic.All Afroasiatic: Cushitic and OmoticComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)All Afroasiatic: Cushitic and OmoticFilter Results25 entriesParent Family (Classification Tree)AllAfro-Asiatic (2)Cushitic (2)Omotic (2)Speaker Count BandAll0 (1)1 to 570 (1)24,600 to 795,000 (3)592 to 23,000 (1)798,400 to 3,238,000,000 (2)RegionAllAfrica (19)Djibouti (1)East Africa (1)Ethiopia (6)Kenya (1)Somalia (1)The Horn of Africa (1)Reconstructed AncestorAllReconstructed (6)Classification StatusAllEstablished (16)Number of LanguagesAll1 (5)2 (1)16 to 1,408 (4)3 to 5 (6)6 to 15 (5)In GroupAllAfroasiatic: Cushitic and Omotic (25)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 25Aari languageAfrican Language FamiliesAgaw languagesAfrican Language FamiliesAroidAfrican Language FamiliesCushiticAfrican Language FamiliesDime languageAfrican Language FamiliesDizoidAfrican Language FamiliesDullay languagesAfrican Language FamiliesEast Cushitic languagesAfrican Language FamiliesGayil languageAfrican Language FamiliesGonga languagesAfrican Language FamiliesHamer languageAfrican Language FamiliesHighland East Cushitic languagesAfrican Language FamiliesLowland East Cushitic languagesAfrican Language FamiliesMacro-Somali languagesAfrican Language FamiliesMao languagesAfrican Language FamiliesNorth OmoticAfrican Language FamiliesOmo-Tana languagesAfrican Language FamiliesOmoticAfrican Language FamiliesOngotaAfrican Language FamiliesOromoid languagesAfrican Language FamiliesProto-Cushitic languageAfrican Language FamiliesSouth Cushitic languagesAfrican Language FamiliesSouth OmoticAfrican Language FamiliesTa-Ne-Omotic LanguagesAfrican Language FamiliesWeyto languageAfrican Language FamiliesComments (0)No comments yet.
