Garo, also known as Bosha after the Bosha dynasty, is an extinct Omotic language of Ethiopia. Ethnologue lists it as a dialect of the Northern Omotic Kafa language, but notes that it may be a distinct language.[2] Other sources list it as unclassified.[3] A few rememberers could be found in the 1970s.[4] The Kingdom of Garo was a culturally Gonga enclave within the southern Oromo area.
