Before I begin the information and order of names and listing are in noway in chronological or interconnected order. If the names are in chronological and interconnected order, it is by default only and therefore should not be deemed as it was by attention.
Lets begin!
Somali ------ In fact when people automatically consider the word "Somali" they automatically think words such as pirate, Desert dweller, "Shirtaam", but really somali is San, which is Mr. or Ms. in Japanese and Ali which is corrupted Galla. So literately Somali means Mr. or Ms. Galla.
Oromo ------ Oro in Japanese means "what". Omo in Korean means "Oh my god", Oromo shows up as "what oh my god or the people who just dont get it. Of course this explanation lacks a little bit of creditability so Ive come subsequently come up with another definition.
Oromo ------ The people who love Oreos.
Afar ----- Which in ancient phonetician language means "dust" and with my knowledge of the Afar prior, I have concluded that Afar basically means:
Afar------ the people who fornicate in the desert.
