Additional background on
Saho
The Saho language is a Cushitic language of Eritrea, spoken in the middle of the country, as well as by a small group across the border in Ethiopia. Their territory is bounded by the bay of Arafali in the east, the Laasi Ghed� valleys in the south, the Ethiopian highlands to the west (Akele-Guzai, Shimezana, and Agame), and Mount Bizen and the Semhar to the north. It borders Tigre on the west and its close relative Afar on the east. It has four main dialects: Toroa, Assaorta, Minifero, and Irob. It has about 200,000 speakers.
It is so closely related to Afar that some regard them as dialects of a single "Saho-Afar language".
