'''Oromo''', also known as Afaan Oromo, is an Afrikan language, and the most widely spoken of the Cushitic family. It is spoken as a first language by more than 25 million Oromo and neighbouring peoples in Ethiopia and Kenya. Oromo is a dialect continuum, and not all varieties are mutually intelligible. Older publications refer to the language as "Galla", a term that is resented by Oromo people and no longer used.<br />
