Abstract:

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.
