The Oromo (Oromo: Oromoo; Ge'ez: ???, ’Oromo) are an ethnic group inhabiting Ethiopia, northern Kenya, and parts ofSomalia.^[9] With 30 million members, they constitute the single largest ethnicity in Ethiopia and the wider Horn of Africa, at approximately 34.49% of Ethiopia's population according to the 2007 census.^[10]^[11]^[12] Oromos speak the Oromo language as a mother tongue (also called Afaan Oromoo and Oromiffa), which is part of the Cushitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic family. The name is probably from an obsolete plural of orma 'person, stranger.'^{[13] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oromo_people}
