<b>Description:</b>
 
Hadiyya (sometimes Hadiyigna or Adiya) is the Afro-Asiatic language of the Hadiya people of Ethiopia. Most speakers live within 100 miles of Addis Ababa in a town called Hosaena. Many speakers live outside of cities.
The language is a Highland East Cushitic language. The Libido language, located just to the north, is very similar lexically, but has significant morphological differences. Hadiyya is interesting in that it has a set of complex consonant phonemes consisting of a glottal stop and a sonorant: /ʔr/, /ʔy/, /ʔw/, /ʔl/.
The New Testament has been translated in Hadiyya, published by the Bible Society of Ethiopia in 1993. It was originally done using the traditional Ethiopic syllabary. A later printing used the Latin alphabet.
The Ethnologue quotes the 1998 census saying the number of speakers is 923,958, with 595,107 monolinguals.<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=5322593 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
