High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Qimant language is a highly endangered language spoken by a small and elderly fraction of the Qemant people in Northern Ethiopia mainly in Chilga Woreda in Semien Gondar Zone between Gondar and Metemma. The language belongs to the western subsection of the Agaw or Central Cushitic languages. Other (extinct) members of this subsection are Qwara and Kayla. With all other Cushitic languages Qimant belongs to the phylum of the Afro-Asiatic languages. Qimant is the original language of the Qemant people of Semien Gondar Zone in Ethiopia. Although the ethnic population of the Qemant was 172,327 at the 1994 census, only a very small fraction of these speak the language nowadays. All speakers live either in Chilga woreda or in Lay Armachiho woreda. The number of first-language speakers is 1625, the number of second language speakers 3450. All speakers of the language are older than 30 years, and more than 75% are older than 50 years. The language is no longer passed on to the next generation of speakers.
