Review of Chaha Phonology and Morphology

Abstract

Abstract

The article focuses on reviewing the phonology and Morphology of Chaha, a Gurage variety belonging to the Ethio-Semitic language family.  The study relies on previous works in Chaha variety and utilizes a secondary data collection method. The review incorporates all existing works of Chaha Phonology and Morphology, as well as the author’s knowledge as a second-language speaker of Chaha. It was observed that there is a lack of consensus among the linguists on certain points, particularly regarding certain sounds, and a lack of detailed discussion of morphology.
