  • The Argobba are a Muslim people group that is spread out through isolated village networks and towns in the northeast and east of Ethiopia. The Argobba have typically been astute traders and merchants, and have adjusted to the economic trends in their area. These factors have led to the decline of the Argobba language. Argobba communities can be found in the Afar, Amhara, and Oromia Regions, in and along the Rift Valley. They include Yimlawo, Gusa, Shonke, Berehet, Khayr Amba, Melkajillo, Metehara, Shewa Robit, and the surrounding rural villages. In some places the Argobba language has homogenized with Amharic. In other places the people have shifted to neighboring languages for economic reasons. At this time there are only a few areas left where the Argobba are not at least bilingual in Amharic, Oromiffa or Afar. All of these languages have a literature that can be used to serve the Argobba, even though their current literacy rate in any language is low; the Argobba reportedly do not like to send their children to school because they will be influenced by the non-Moslem world. This is the same reason that the Argobba do not go to court.
  • El Pueblo argoba (o argobba) es un grupo étnico musulmán que encuentra diseminado a través de aldeas aisladas y ciudades del noreste y el este de Etiopía. Históricamente, los argoba se han distinguido como pueblo de comerciantes y mercaderes, adaptándose a las tendencias económicas del área de residencia. Lo cual ha dado lugar a la disminución del número de hablantes de lengua argoba. Es posible encontrar importantes comunidades argobas en la región Afar, la región Amhara y la región Oromia, y a lo largo del valle del Rift. Entre ellas se incluyen Yimlawo, Gusa, Shonke, Berehet, Khayr Amba, Melkajillo, Metehara, Shewa Robit, y las aldeas rurales que las rodean.
  • Argobbat ovat Etiopiassa asuva seemiläistä kieltä puhuva kansa. Vuonna 1983 heitä arvioitiin olevan 15 000 henkeä. Argobbat asuvat Ifatin alueella Addis Abeban pohjoispuolella. Pääelinkeino on keinokasteluun perustuva maanviljely ja puutarhanhoito. Valtaosa on kristittyjä, osa muslimeja.
