1 Conditions of the Survey

This report presents further findings from a survey trip of two weeks (February 16–28, 1994) to Begi, to villagessurrounding Begi, and to Asosa (Assosa). Some findings from a short trip to the Metahara area (March 8, 1994) arealso included.∗

The analysis and interpretation of these data, including Anfillo, as well as comparisons with data of M. L. Bender,H. Fleming, Gebre B., Kebede H., and others, will have to be the topic of further reports.

The purpose of these trips was threefold: (1) to identify the areas where varieties of the so-called “Mao” and “Koma” languages are spoken, (2) to elicit the S.L.L.E. word lists of Hozo and Seze (also called Sezo, more accurately: Seeze), and (3) to gather sociolinguistic information about these groups, especially concerning the vitality of the smallergroups.

We are grateful for the support which we received from several representatives of the language groups. We espe-cially acknowledge the care and the efforts which several officials put into producing sketch maps of their languageareas; there are plans to design more definite maps.

2 Sketch Maps of Language Areas South of Asosa

Five sketch maps were produced in the following way:

In discussion groups of about five people each, informants provided the names of places (either settlements or areas)where they themselves lived, or where their acquaintances who spoke their language were living. The names werenot always names of villages. Hozo and Seze people, for instance, prefer less permanent forms of settlements fortheir families and herds.

The group decided how much time it would normally take to walk to that particular place from the Begi market (orfrom Bambesi) as a starting point—and in which direction.

The discussions were then summarized in the form of “spider web” graphs, where “one hour” represented five kms,and “one day”, eight hours of walking. Names were reconciled with information provided by the maps available, asfar as this was possible. (The existing maps hardly provide any names for smaller settlements.) The resulting “spiderweb” graphs were then superimposed on a pilot map which is based on air photos of about twenty-five years ago.The results, very tentative indeed, are displayed later.

We are particularly grateful to Al Kedir Ahmed who arranged for a meeting of Mao and Kwama speakers in Asosa.In Begi, Mustafa Turke took the initiative in calling and leading some of these meetings.

3 Mao Settlements and ResettlementsAt the time of the Emperor Menelik II, i.e., about three generations ago, large numbers of Mao speakers left theirhome area south of Asosa in order to work and settle in similar ecological environments further east: some in theDidesa (Diddeessa) Valley (about two hundred kms from their home area), and some near the town of Metahara(about six hundred kms from their home area). The question is, of course, how these population movements haveaffected communication between the resulting Mao “varieties”.

3.1 MetaharaBy Menelik II, several thousand Mao speakers were led to live in the Metahara area. Because of its swamps, the areawas thought to be ecologically similar to their original home in the homelands near the Sudan border, and the set-tlers were expected to make the best of their new environment. Contacts with the resident population were not fre-quent and not close. While most Mao people settled far away from Metahara town, some of them established a littleMao quarter in the southern part of Metahara. Most of these homes are now (1994) deserted or occupied by Suda-nese refugees. We got some information concerning the numbers of Mao resettlers, from interviews with citizens ofthe larger Metahara area. They said that while formerly the Mao speakers were counted by “thousands”, there wereonly “a few hundred” left.

3.2 Bambesi (also: Bambeshi; preferable: Bambassi)Three generations after Menelik II had recruited the Mao for the East, most of the Metahara settlers had returned tothe West (1994), and a number of them live south of the town of Bambesi now. The resettlers are said to feel posi-tive about this move. This may be so for various reasons: (a) they felt welcomed by the fact that in early 1994, resi-dents of the Bambesi/Asosa area gave part of their salaries to the resettlers in order to help them build their newhomes, and (b) most of the cultural ways of the Mao have not changed during the three generations of their absence.It was reported that the resettlers just “took up their ways” of dealing with the Bambesi environment, “as if they hadnever left the area”. As far as the language is concerned, changes seem to be minor. Apart from minor differences,such as those which are due to the different sources of loan words, the Mao language has not split up. There defi-nitely is no communication problem between those who had stayed on and those who resettled the area. It should benoted that the area south of Asosa is undergoing rapid changes, including new efforts in road building and education(cf. the Ethiopian Herald, April 28, 1994).

3.3 Didesa (also: Diddeessa)At the time when some Mao people were led to settle in Metahara, others settled in the Didesa Valley. Apart fromthe fact that many of them became orthodox Christians, their culture and language has remained unaffected by themove. The Didesa people do not plan to move back to the Bambesi area.

Resettlement of the Mao PeopleThree generations ago: From the Bambesi area to the Didesa Valley and Metahara ( )

1994: From Metahara to the Bambesi area ( )

3.4 Conclusion

By all standards, it must be said that the language has remained the same, and that dialect differences are negligibleas far as the ease of communication is concerned. This was obvious as we observed conversations between Maocitizens of the Bambesi area and the Didesa area. It is also obvious from a comparison of the word lists.

4 Hozo and Seze Word Lists

The informant for the main word list of Seze (Seeze) was Olika Guda of Hopa. More information about the speakersand the varieties of Hozo and Seze will be presented in later reports
