The Ometo languages of Ethiopia are a dialect cluster of the Omotic family, generally accepted as part of the Afro-Asiatic language family. They include the most populous Omotic language, Wolaytta, with two million speakers.〔 Bender (2000) classifies them as,〔Bender, M. Lionel. 2000. ''Comparative Morphology of the Omotic Languages.'' Munich: LINCOM. Classification copied in Raymond G. Gordon, Jr, ed. 2005. ''Ethnologue: Languages of the World''. 15th edition.

'Omotic: the "empty quarter" of Afroasiatic linguistics'. In ''Research in Afroasiatic Grammar II: selected papers from the fifth conference on Afroasiatic languages, Paris 2000,'' ed. by Jacqueline Lecarme, pp. 241-261. Amsterdam: John Benjamins.〕 a position followed by Blench (2006). Blench lists several additional North Ometo languages, and lists Chara as unclassified within the family.〔Blench, 2006.
