Awngi
This chapter deals with Awngi—a language of the Central Cushitic, or Agaw, group. Awngi is mainly spoken in northwestern Ethiopia in the Awi Zone of the Amhara Regional State and in some villages of the Benishangul-Gumuz Regional State. The chapter reviews the dialectal differences between the Awngi varieties spoken in the highland (Agaw-Midir) and lowland (Metekkel) and its impact on mutual intelligibility. This chapter also analyzes the Awngi c…
Language endangerment in Ethiopia
This chapter discusses language vitality and language loss and speakers’ attitude towards their language. It analyzes how the loss of little-known and under-studied languages creates gaps in our understanding of human language and cognition. The chapter examines social and scholarly efforts to curb language loss or at least keep proper documentation of the languages and cultures of minority groups for future generations. It engages with literatur…

Amharic personal nomenclature
This article presents the grammatical and sociolinguistic analyses of Amharic proper nouns. In the sociolinguistic section, names are classified into types based on their semantic contents, which are strongly linked with the socio-economic and political situations surrounding the birth of a child. In the grammatical section, the phonology, morphology and syntax of names are described. This section also identifies the pragmatically possible constr…
Code-Switching
A worthwhile area of research in bilingual and multilingual communities which allow codeswitching is whether there are any constraints on why and how the alternation of codes may take place and which grammatical categories are more sensitive to such a phenomenon. It is also true that the implications of codeswitching are sociolinguistically important inasmuch as one can describe the bilingual person, group or society. Since Ethiopia is a multilin…
