  • Dizin (often called “Dizi” or “Maji” in the literature) is an Omotic language of the Afro-Asiatic language family spoken in the Dizi woreda of the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region, located in southwestern Ethiopia. The 1998 census listed 21,075 speakers, with 17,583 identified as monolinguals. The language has basic SOV (Subject-Object-Verb) word order, tones, and is largely suffixing. Dizin, together with the Sheko and Nayi languages, is part of a cluster of languages variously called "Maji" or "Dizoid".
  • Dizi (auch Magi, Maji) ist eine omotische Sprache, die im Südwesten Äthiopiens in der Kaffa-Region gesprochen wird. Sie wird dem Nordomotischen zugerechnet und ist nahe mit Sheko und Nayi verwandt Für das Dizi liegen mehrere Beschreibungen vor (siehe Literaturverzeichnis), die sich in vielen wesentlichen Punkten unterscheiden, was wohl auf starke dialektale Differenzen schließen lässt.
