      Learning Afaan Oromo

      It may be said, why should one learn a language that cannot help in competition for global market? The Oromoo are one of the ancient peoples of Africa. Their language is rooted in what is refered to as Kuusaa or Cushtic language group. The people that spoke the Kuusaa language from the lower Nile were at the head of what ancient Greek historians refer to as Ethiopian Civilization. This is different from present day state of that name. There were times when they provided pharaohs to ancient Egypt. Many languages/dialects from among those of the ancients had either vanished or weakened. If a language vanishes while the people are still around it means they are replaced by those of the powerful and the wealthy.

      With lose of language nationhood and national identity will be lost. There also are feelings that cannot be expressed except in that language. Thus one will live maim and in a never ending identity crisis and a status of second class human being. If many human beings are taught the language and if it is registered and saved in so many places as possible it may one day help to find the lost heritage and solve the crisis. Thus there is historical justification and a projected hope for learning Afaan Oromo. It belonged to a civilization which all black people claim. For those who investigate that civilization Afaan Oromo cannot be overlooked. Some missing links to the ancient civilization may be found in it.

      Oromo language had been an oral language for unknown period of times. It is so vast that there is no part of knowledge that an equivalent cannot be found for in it. It is not known as to when they stopped writing and reverted to registering to memory. According to oral tradition they were the cattle to blame for that. They ate up all the written works. Since then they read their suet (moora) and depended more on their own memory to pass information to generations. Though unfortunate for not being masters of their own resources, still their rich culture, history and language have lots to offer the world.

      Modern technological development is making information to be processed overwhelmingly that sheer memory is unable to handle it. That is threatening to wipe out the oral tradition of this historic nation. It is only after great sacrifice that right for children to learn in their first language was recognized. Now most Oromo children have to some extent the chance to learn in their national language. Letters or “qubee” that fit the language are adopted. Official duties in Oromiyaa are now more or less run by the people’s language. That also makes it relevant to start learning the language.

      Others who have to learn Afaan Oromo are those Oromo who because of historical reasons lost their language. They have to go back to their roots and regain their pride to overcome identity crisis. Such ones are daily expanding. Families of those born or brought up under alien administration, mumble to them in alien language thinking it would make them appear smarter. The only chance children have is to learn their language at home. Out of home and at school alien language has the upper hand. There are those who detract children from learning their mother tongue from lack of responsibility. Most of them try to sharpen their own dull tongue at the expense of their children.

      Others are those who speak the language but for one reason or other can not read or write it. Others are those who have the knowledge but see negligently when their language goes down to a second place or no place in their own home. This work may help efforts made to reversing this situation. To overcome such situation individual endeavor alone will not be enough. It needs concerted action. For this reason cooperation of nationals and organized community is essential.

      It could serve those who for evil or good intend to work among the Oromo. To intermingle and communicate with the people they need it, what ever their mission might be. In addition students of language and other fields who do research in Oromiyaa will find it easier if they know few words that will help them find their ways. It is obvious that it will be of great help for those who have Oromo buddies and partners.

      For scholars of those people that have related language with the Oromo there could be missed links that if joined might help developing each others languages. That calls for learning the language. Afaan Oromo is a language of peace and love. The prayers, poems and songs are infatuating. Who hates to be comforted or break the heart of ones sweetheart? Above all it is a world treasure intentionally being subjected to perish.

      Languages are a gateway to peoples’ history, culture, tradition, and in short their civilization. So far СКАЧАТЬ
