BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HIGHLAND EAST CUSHITIC

Grover Hudson
Michigan State University

Highland East Cushitic (HEC) is a group of Afroasiatic Eastern Cushitic languages spoken by peoples numbering several million in south-central Ethiopia. Principal among these are, from north to south, Hadiyya, Kambaata, Sidaama, Gedeo (formerly termed Darasa), and Burji, grouped thus:  ((Hadiyya, Kambaata), (Sidaama, Gedeo)), Burji). A named variety mutually intelligible with Kambaata is T'imbaaro, and, more divergent, are Kambaata-like varieties Alaaba and K'abeena. Closely related to but perhaps not mutually intelligible with Hadiyya is Libido (or Marak'o).

This bibliography includes studies of Cushitic, East Cushitic, Ethiopian linguistics, and anthropological studies which significantly concern Highland East Cushitic languages. Excluded (because these are usually unknown to me) are schoolbooks published in Ethiopia on HEC languages and unpublished works except for Addis Ababa University theses and senior essays.

For Highland East Cushitic peoples and languages in the 1994 Ethiopian census, and a list of all Ethiopian languages Cushitic, Nilosaharan, Omotic, Semitic, and unclassified, click here.

If you know of publications on these languages which should be included, please let me know at hudson@msu.edu.
