About the book

Argobba is a South Ethio-Semitic language whose closest relative is Amharic. Once a vibrant language, now it is reduced to being a critically-endangered one with only few thousand speakers. This bilingual dictionary marks one part of a revitalization effort put into place by The Argobba Development Association in collaboration with the Argobba community. It includes multiple dialects of Argobba, including Shonke-T'ollaha and Aliyu Amba - Shoa Robit.
