The Omo–Tana languages are a branch of the Cushitic family and are spoken in Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia and Kenya. The largest member is Somali. There is some debate as to whether the Omo–Tana languages form a single group, or whether they are individual branches of Lowland East Cushitic.

The North and South Omotic branches ("Nomotic" and "Somotic") are universally recognized, with some dispute as to the composition of North Omotic. The primary debate is over the placement of the Mao languages. Bender(2000) classifies Omotic languages as follows: Apart from terminology, this differs from Fleming (1976) in including the Mao languages...
Omotic is generally considered the most divergent branch of the Afroasiatic languages. In early work up to Greenberg (1963), the languages had been classified in a subgroup of Cushitic, called most often "West Cushitic". Fleming (1969) argued that it should instead be classified as an independent branch of Afroasiatic, a view which Bender (1971) es...
General
The Omotic languages have a morphology that is partly agglutinative and partly fusional: 1. Agglutinating: Yem am-se-f-∅-àgo+plural+present+3. Person+Femininum “they go” 2. Fusional: Aari ʔíts-eka eat+3. Person Pl. Converb“by eating” Inflection through suprasegmental morphemes is found in individual languages such as Dizi and Bench; Historically, these are partly reflexes of affixes: 1. Bench sum˩ "name", sum-s˦"to name" The nominal morphology is based on a nominative-accusative-absolutive sy...
Phonology
The Omotic languages have on average slightly less than thirty consonant phonemes, which is a comparatively high number, but is also found in other primary branches of Afro-Asian. Commonly used are bilabial, alveolar, velar and glottal plosive, various fricative, alveolar affricates and /w/, /y/, /l/, /r/, /m/, /n/. What is typical for the non-glottal plosives is that they are each represented by a voiced, a voiceless, and an ejective phoneme; All three types can also be found in fricatives a...
Bender (1987: 33–35)reconstructs the following proto-forms for Proto-Omotic and Proto-North Omotic, the latter which is considered to have descended from Proto-Omotic.

Las lenguas Omo-Tana son una rama de la familia de lenguas cushitas y se hablan en Etiopía, Djibouti, Somalia, Somalilandia y Kenia. El idioma Omo-Tana más hablado es el somalí . Existe cierto debate sobre si las lenguas Omo-Tana forman un solo grupo, o si son cada una de las ramas individuales de las lenguas cushíticas de las tierras bajas ...
The (Western) Omo–Tana or Arboroid languages belong to the Afro-Asiatic family and are spoken in Ethiopia and Kenya. The languages are: Arbore; Daasanach; El Molo; Yaaku; The first three have long been recognized as related; Bender (2020) adds Yaaku, whose classification had been obscure. The El Molo language of Kenya is nearly ...
