Hello all.
I have tried looking on the internet for information on the above 3 Cushitic languages' similarities in phonology, syntax, morphology etc. yet to no success. There appears to be very little written on their shared characteristics. Are there any native speakers of the above languages here or those multilingual in them that could chip in? Those who have studied them would also be much welcome. Regards 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Hi Al-Irelandi,
Here is a Cushitic linguistic stratigraphy. 
Lowland East Cushitic languages (Afar, Somali, Oromo etc) diverged approximately 4000 years ago. The Vocabulary similarity between them is about 20-25%. Edited by Amun on 28 November 2011 at 10:27pm 2 persons have voted this message useful |
