North Omotic languages

Language family of Ethiopia

The North Omotic (Nomotic) or Ta-Ne Omotic languages, are a group of languages spoken in Ethiopia. Glottolog considers Ta-Ne-Omotic to be an independent language family, whereas older classifications may link it to the Omotic branch of the Afro-Asiatic family, though this affiliation is disputed.
