A lot of linguists believe the Cushitic languages are a sprachbund..languages that do not necessarily come from the same source but came to resemble each other due to proximity. They say Somali and Afar are possibly from the source but not necessarily the rest.

Wow..we just belong to each other period..I know some Somali tribes that are "Oromised" as the Oromos are way more than them, they slowly and slowly get swallowed and I think the rest of the Somalis will in the long run be swallowed.... :clap:

I think the Afar language is more similar to Somali.
