The Oromoid languages are a branch of Lowland East Cushitic languages that includes the most populous Cushitic language, Oromo, and the closely related Konsoid dialect cluster. A distinguishing feature of Oromoid (and Omo-Tama) languages from other lowland East Cushitic languages is a distinct paradigm for negation.[1]
