  • Argobba is an Ethiopian Semitic spoken in an area north-east of Addis Ababa by the Argobba people. It belongs to the South Ethiopian Semitic subgroup together with Amharic and the Gurage languages. Writing in the mid-1960s, Edward Ullendorff noted that it "is disappearing rapidly in favour of Amharic, and only a few hundred elderly people are still able to speak it. " The language is spoken in a number of pockets and has at least four regional variations in Harar (extinct), Aliyu Amba, Shewa Robit and Shonke.
  • Argobba (aʕargobba ʔaf) ist eine äthiosemitische Sprache und bildet mit dem Amharischen eine Gruppe (AA-Gruppe des Transversal-Südäthiosemitisch) innerhalb des südäthiosemitischen Sprachen.
  • L'argobba és una llengua etiòpica del grup meridional parlada per uns 11.000 individus del poble argobba establerts en diversos indrets al llarg de la Vall del Rift com ara Yimlawo, Gusa, Shonke, Berket, Keramba, Mellajillo, Metehara, Shewa Robit i d'altres petites poblacions rurals. L'argobba forma part, juntament amb l'amhàric, el harari i les llengües gurage orientals, de l'etiòpic meridional transversal, i se'n reconeixen almenys dues varietats dialectals fonamentals: l'ankober i el xonke, varietat aquesta considerada la més "pura" pels parlants d'argobba (Ethnologue 15).
  • Język argobba – język semicki z południowej gałęzi języków etiopskich, około 11 tys. mówiących. Język argobba jest bardzo blisko spokrewniony z językiem amharskim – urzędowym językiem Etiopii, zbieżność leksykalna wynosi ok. 80 procent.
