Rayyaa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rayyaa Oromo People (Oromo: Raayyaa) are a subgroup of Oromo clans inhabiting an area from the historic Wollo Province to Lake Ashenge Tigray Province in Ethiopia, along Wollo Oromo and Yejju Oromo people. [1]

Language[]

The Rayyaa Oromo are agriculturalist and music-loving Cushitic Oromo people who speak Oromo and occasionally Tigrinya due proximity with Tigray people. However, linguistic descriptions of the Rayyaa and nearby Wollo areas are still lacking.[2]
