Ethiopia, like other African countries, particularly south of the Sahara, is a multi-ethnic state, inhabited by eighty-three ethnic groups, identified in the main by the number of languages (including about 200 dialects). But there are also overlaps of cultural and religious values among different ethnic groups. The ethnic groups inhabiting Ethiopia (which, in some areas, overflow into the borders of Kenya in the south, the Sudan in the west, Djibouti in the east, Somalia in the east and southeast and, now, Eritrea in the north and northeast) can be classified, following the linguistic pattern, into four main groups: Semitic, Cushitic, Omotic, and Nilo-Saharan. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
