Ongota also known as Birale or Birayle or Ifa'ongota is a critically endangered language spoken in Southwest Ethiopia.
Ongota language has approximately 56 native speakers.
The language is being abandoned in favour of neighbouring Ts’amakko (Cushitic) and is only spoken by Ongota elders
We are on a mission to document and preserve all native languages in Africa and help many people learn these languages while at it.
Join the movement by adding a definition in your mother tongue.
If you can help us accomplish this mission in any other way, say provide recordings or written text of your language or suggest corrections/additions to the data on this page, feel free to reach out to us here: [email protected].
