Much like the Beja recording, this was originally recorded for religious "Christianity spreading" purposes and I don't at all own this video nor did I have any part in its recording. I'm uploading this much like with the Beja video I've uploaded so that people interested in hearing what the Xamtanga/ Xamir language sounds like can listen to it. The Xamtanga language is spoken by Xamir people who are an "Agaw / Agew" people from the Northern Ethiopian Highlands. http://oi57.tinypic.com/28befwo.jpg They and other Agaws are related to people of the Zagwe Dynasty (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me2onCyMxJQ) who were also Agaws / Central-Cushitic speakers. Xamirs and other Agaws are typically sedentary agriculturalists and are genetically quite similar to Habeshas whose ancestors prior to about ~1000 BCE used to be Central Cushitic languages. http://anthromadness.blogspot.ae/2014/12/afar-samples-from-autosomal-dna-studies.html http://anthromadness.blogspot.ae/2015/02/cushitic-admixture-levels-somalis-as.html

Rendille is an Afro-Asiatic language of the family's Cushitic branch. It's speakers mainly occupy Kenya and have an interesting culture that displays Nilotic influences. Within Cushitic itself; Rendille is classified as an "East Cushitic" language of that subbranch's "Lowland East Cushitic" subbranch and is considered to have a strong relationship with languages such as Maay, Tunni and Standard/ North Somali where it is in some circles considered part of a "Macro-Somali" or "Somaloid" subbranch of Lowland East Cushitic. Though there are classifications where this is not entirely the case but it is still ultimately a Lowland East Cushitic language. https://www.ethnologue.com/language/rel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowland_East_Cushitic_languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macro-Somali_languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendille_language The video footage/ the images alongside the recordings are entirely the work of folks over at "The Global Recordings Network" who made them for proselytizing purposes/ to aid in the spreading of Christianity. I on the other hand am sharing them for more educational purposes/ for people interested to hear what various Cushitic languages sound like. http://globalrecordings.net/en/program/C62981 At any rate; enjoy.

Saho is an Afro-Asiatic language of the family's Cushitic branch. It's spoken by the Saho people who mostly inhabit Eritrea with a small presence in Ethiopia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saho_people Within the Cushitic branch of Afro-Asiatic; Saho is part of the East Cushitic subbranch and goes further down into what is for now classified as the Lowland East Cushitic subbranch of East Cushitic. It is very closely related to Afar with whom it forms a subbranch of Lowland East Cushitic dubbed "Saho-Afar". Other Lowland East Cushitic languages would be languages such as Somali, Maay, Oromo etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saho_language Sahos are mostly nomadic pastoralists and coast residing people while the Saho in Ethiopia who seem to mostly or entirely be of a subgroup called "The Irob" are sedentary agriculturalists. http://oi61.tinypic.com/346u69i.jpg http://oi62.tinypic.com/fcl277.jpg I had no part in the recording of this video nor did I have any part in the production of the recordings in it (I did however add the images in it). I owe these recordings to "The Global Recordings Network": http://globalrecordings.net/en/program/C01571 They were created for proselytizing purposes but I'm merely uploading recordings of various Cushitic languages for "educational" purposes: they're basically meant for anyone interested in the Cushitic language branch and what many of its languages sound like. As for the images, here's me giving credit to the great artists responsible for them: 1. "An Arab Encampment" by Edward Lear 2. "In The Harem" by Juan Gimenez Martin 3.

Updated: 05 May 2015

Oromo is the most widely spoken Cushitic language in East Africa and the entire world, it's an East Cushitic language of what is for now classified as the subbranch of Cushitic's "Lowland East" branch alongside languages such as Somali, Saho and Afar. This video was originally created to aid in spreading stories about Jesus or generally about the Christian faith for proselytizing purposes. I do not own the actual video or any of its content nor did I take any part in its production. I'm merely sharing this for "educational" purposes; for anyone interested in hearing what various Cushitic languages sound like. Oromo is seemingly capable of being divided into various sublanguages. For example: "Ethnologue (2013) divides Oromo into five languages: * Borana–Arsi–Guji Oromo (Southern Oromo, incl. Gabra and Sakuye dialects) * Eastern Oromo (Harar) * Orma (Munyo, Orma, Waata/Sanye) * West–Central Oromo (Western Oromo and Central Oromo, incl. Mecha/Wollega, Raya, Wello, Tulema/Shewa) * Waata (Sanye)" "Roger Blench (2006), a linguist, divides Oromo into four languages: * Western Oromo (Maca) * Shewa (Tuulama, Arsi) * Eastern Oromo (Harar) * Southern Oromo (Ajuran, Borana, Gabra, Garreh, Munyo, Orma, Sakuye, Waata) These recordings were originally compiled by: http://globalrecordings.net/en/ And they seemed to list the videos in ways like: Oromo: Harar People Oromo: Jimma People I couldn't entirely be sure about the correct way to designate these languages as I myself am not some expert on Oromo so I just divided it the way you see in the video in a way that assume for example that "Oromo: Jimma" is how people in and around the town/ city of Jimma speak Oromo. If any Oromo speakers have anything to add like mentioning if one of these variants of Oromo is a dialect or a sublanguage then go ahead. F.e. I assume what global recordings lists as "Oromo: Harar People" is essentially what Ethnologue and Blench classify as "Eastern Oromo"?

This particular variety of Oromo is known in the field of linguistics (to my knowledge) as "West-Central Oromo" and if I'm not mistaken seems to practically be classed as a "sub-language" of Oromo and not a simple dialect, Oromo itself is more of a "Macro-language" grouping though Roger Blench (a linguist) seems to divide Oromo up differently. https://www.ethnologue.com/language/gaz https://www.ethnologue.com/language/orm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oromo_language#Varieties These recordings were made for proselytizing purposes but I've uploaded them for more educational reasons/ for people interested in hearing what various Cushitic languages sound like to have such an opportunity.
