  • Did you pick up any amharic at all? or whatever language they are speaking?

  • Hey there. I learned a little Amharic. I was in Ethiopia for only one month. BUT, these tribes that I visited in the Omo Valley don't speak Amharic. They only speak their tribe's language. This video is from the Hamar tribe. So, the speak Hamar.

  • That's really cool, you are very lucky to have so much free time and money to travel around all these interesting countries in the world. ive always wanted to visit ethiopia. a country with a great long history. did you visit its capital as well? addis ababa

  • Hi. Yes - I spent a month traveling around Ethiopia. I was my favorite country of my entire world tour. It is a special place filled with wonderful people and fascinating culture. Put it at the top of your list!!!

  • These tribes don't speak Amharic. They speak their own native tribal language - entirely different from the tribes just 60km away. This is the Hamar tribe and they speak Hamar.

  • Neo-colonialist.

  • @Tha0wn4g3

    shutup....you dont even know what he is saying. fuck off bitch.

  • Better yet, learn their language brother ! You are lucky to be there. Chief is one of the wisest people you have ever been around, learn from the people brother.

  • That would be a little scary and uncomfortable for me.

  • thats so kool

  • whats the point in asking people what is your name when they dont understand? maybe you should go to a tribe where one person speaks english. there are some like that. mainly because of christian emmisaries

  • i wonder how developed the hamar language and other tribal languages are. like do they have a large vocabulary base? the old guy seems really funny
