Dima language (Ethiopia)
The Dima 'language' is an extinct language formerly spoken in Ethiopia by the Dima people, who lived to the east of the Omo River north of Lake Turkana, as described by Vittorio Bottego in an expedition to Ethiopia in 1897. It is known by only a few numerals, which do not obviously resemble another language.
