Eastern Oromo is a form of Oromo spoken in the East Hararghe Zone, West Hararghe Zone and northern Bale Zone of the Oromia Region of Ethiopia.^[2]

According to Ethnologue, a 1994 census reported 4,530,000 speakers of this Oromo form.^[1] However, the 1994 Ethiopian national census did not break down language speakers according to dialect, although it reported 2,570,293 speakers of Oromo in those two zones.^[3]
