Information from: “Ongota (Birale), a moribund language of Southwest Ethiopia” (171-188) . Savà, Graziano (2003) , Janse, Mark and Tol, Sijmen · John Benjamins Publ.
"A moribund language which is not transmitted anymore, and which is used in extremely limited contexts"
Ts'amakko
"The Ongota have felt and will feel the need to change their despised status. It is therefore understandable that they have started to give up their ridiculed traditional language."
Information from: “Africa” ( ch. 7) . Gerrit J. Dimmendaal and F. K. Erhard Voeltz (2007) , Christopher Moseley · Routledge
Ts'amay
"Its speakers are gradually shifting towards the Cushitic language Ts'amay; interestingly, many Ts'amay are now in the process of shifting their language solidarity towards the Cushitic language Konso or the Omotic language Hamar."
Information from: “One Thousand Languages: Living, Endangered, and Lost” . Peter Austin (2008) University of California
Information from: “Nilo-Saharan Stratum of Ongota” (1-10) . Václav Blažek (2007) , Mechthild Reh and Doris L. Payne · Köln: Rüdiger Köppe
Tsamay
"Under a strong influence of neighboring languages as Tsamay, Gawwada; Konso, Oromo of Borana, Arbore; Hamer, Hanna, and others, Ongota was creolized or even pidginized. The most dominant process could be called a 'Tsamayization'."
"Ongota is the self-designation of a population from southwest Ethiopia north of Chaw Behar (earlier lake Stefania) and east of Lake Turkana (earlier lake Rudolf in Kenya)."
Information from: “A sketch of Ongota, a dying language of southwest Ethiopia” (59-136) . Savà, Graziano and Tosco, Mauro (2000)
Ts'amakko
Hamar-Banna
Amharic
Borana Oromo
"The Ongota abandoned their language and ceased teaching it to their children in order to avoid being teased by the Ts'amakko and the Banna."
