Omo–Tana languages

Omo–Tana
Geographic; distribution	Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, Kenya
Linguistic classification	Afro-Asiatic Cushitic Lowland East Omo–Tana; ; ;
Subdivisions	Rendille?; Somali?; Baiso?; Girirra?; Western Omo–Tana;
Glottolog	omot1245[1]

The Omo–Tana languages are a disputed branch of the Cushitic family and are spoken in Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, and Kenya. The largest member is Somali. There is some debate as to whether the Omo–Tana languages form a single group, or whether they are individual branches of Lowland East Cushitic. Blench (2006) restricts the name to the Western Omo–Tana languages, and calls the others Macro-Somali.[2]

Internal classification

Mauro Tosco (2012)[3] proposes the following internal classification of the Omo-Tana languages. Tosco considers Omo-Tama to consist of a Western branch and an Eastern ("Somaloid") branch, which is a dialect chain of various Somali languages and the Rendille–Boni languages (see also Macro-Somali languages).

Omo-Tana

Western ("Galaboid") branch
- Dhaasanac
- Arbore
- Elmolo
Eastern ("Somaloid") branch
- Rendille
- Karre–Boni
- Tunni–Dabarre
- Ashraaf
- Maay
- Somali

gollark: Isn't the market for high-powered VPSes/servers quite saturated at this point?

gollark: Even with computers they still managed to mess the phone network up so horribly.- calls appear to use an awful voice codec- multimedia messages are overcharged massively for- caller ID spoofing is a very common thing- mobile phones have stupidly complex modem chips with excessive access to the rest of their phone, closed source firmware and probably security bugs- SIM cards are self contained devices with lots of software in *Java*?! In a sane system they would need to store something like four values.- "eSIM" things are just reprogrammable soldered SIM cards because apparently nobody thought of doing it in software?!- phone towers are routinely spoofed by law enforcement for no good reason and apparently nobody is stopping this- phone calls/texts are not end to end encrypted, which is practical *now* if not when much of the development of mobile phones and whatever was happening- there are apparently a bunch of exploits in the protocols linking phone networks, like SS7

gollark: I think if a tick takes a few seconds or something.

gollark: <@221827050892296192> If TPS drops really really low it will stop.

gollark: I actually found this page on it. https://wiki.vg/Server_List_PingAmazing how much of Minecraft's been reverse engineered.
