Bosha language

Extinct Omotic language of Ethiopia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Garo, also known as Bosha after the Bosha dynasty, is an extinct Omotic language of Ethiopia. Ethnologue lists it as a dialect of the Northern Omotic Kafa language, but notes that it may be a distinct language.[1] Other sources list it as unclassified.[2] A few rememberers could be found in the 1970s.[3] The Kingdom of Garo was a culturally Gonga enclave within the southern Oromo area.
