Useless language if you're not Oromo..obviously. My parents taught us Swahili before they even taught us oromiffa (borana)...useless language either way.

One is a widely recognized, influential and demanding language spoken in the South Eastern Africa (7+ countries).

The other is a marginalised language spoken by a marginalised group. It is irrelevant and non-existent outside of Oromo region unless if you plan on becoming a farmer.

Don't learn for the sake of it if you aren't gonna deal or interact with Swahilis or Oromos.
