The Dizoid or Maji (Majoid) languages consist of three languages spoken in southwestern Ethiopia:
Dizi differs from the rest of the two languages somewhat more (Aklilu 2003), although Glottolog considers similarities between Sheko and Nayi to be due to retentions rather than evidence of subgrouping.
The North Omotic languages, also known as Ta-Ne Omotic or Damotic, are a branch of the Afroasiatic language family spoken in Ethiopia. They have traditionally been classified together with the Aroid, Dizoid, and Mao languages within the disputed "Omotic" family.
A relatively comprehensive comparative word list is given in Václav Blažek (2008).
The Omotic languages are a traditionally recognized but disputed grouping of languages spoken mainly in southwestern Ethiopia, around the Omo River region, and in parts of southeastern Sudan (Blue Nile State). This classification conventionally includes the Damotic (North Omotic), Mao, Dizoid, and Aroid (South Omotic) languages.
Some of these languages are written in the Geʽez script, while others use the Latin alphabet. They are generally agglutinative and exhibit complex tonal systems, as in the Bench language. The group comprises about 7.9 million speakers.
