background

Shewa used to be a southern border province of the Ethiopian Empire before becoming the political (and geographical) center in the late 19th century. She is on the edge of the Greater African Rift Valley (Great Rift Valley) and makes Addis Ababa the third highest capital in the world.

language

Addis Ababa is multilingual, but the most useful language in the capital is Amharic.

Around the capital, the Oromo people make up the majority of the population, around 30% of the 85 million inhabitants of Ethiopia. The Oromo is one of the most numerous ethnic groups in Africa, enjoying a homogeneous culture, a common language and common political, religious and legal institutions. The Oromo language, Afaan Oromoo or Oromiffa, belongs to the group of East Cushite languages and is the most extensive of the forty or so Cushitic languages. It is also considered to be one of the five most widely spoken languages ​​among the 1,000 or so languages ​​spoken in Africa. The Oromo language is very closely related to Konso related, with more than fifty percent of the words in common, closely related to Somali and far away with Afar and Saho related.

Amharic is also widespread in the region. In some large cities like Nazret, more people speak Amharic than Afaan Oromoo. Basic English is understood by young people.
