Definition
- Alaba-Kabeena (also known as Alaba, Allaaba, Halaba) is an Afro-Asiatic language spoken in Ethiopia in the Great Rift Valley southwest of Lake Shala. The literacy rate of native speakers in their language is below 1%, while their literacy rate in second languages is 8.6%; Alaba-Kabeena is taught in primary schools. It has an 81% lexical similarity with Kambaata. However Fleming (1976) classifies K'abeena (also transliterated "Qebena") as a dialect of Kambaata. The 2007 census in Ethiopia lists Alaba and Qebena as separate languages.
