Oromo language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3254 words) |
 | Besides first language speakers, a number of members of other ethnicities who are in contact with the Oromos speak Oromo as a second language, for example, the Omotic-speaking Bambassi and the Nilo-Saharan-speaking Kwama in northwestern Oromia. |
| In most languages, there is a small number of basic distinctions of person, number, and often gender that play a role within the grammar of the language. |
| As in languages such as French, Russian, and Turkish, the Oromo second person plural is also used as a polite singular form, for reference to people that the speaker wishes to show respect towards. |
