Gomba is an extinct unclassified language of Ethiopia. The language is reported as having been spoken a few generations ago in the village of Labok in Southern Omo Zone, with their speakers having since then assimilated to the Nyangatom people.[1] Possible affiliation in Afro-Asiatic has been floated.[2]
