It is the native language of the Welayta people. The estimates of the population vary greatly because it is not agreed where the boundaries of the language are. There are conflicting claims about how widely Wolaytta is spoken. Some hold that Melo, Oyda, and Gamo-Gofa-Dawro are also dialects, but most sources, including Glottolog and ISO 639-3 now list these as separate languages. wal wal wal wal WAL false WAL 1950-05-09 WAL
