Karo is an Omotic language spoken in the Debub (South) Omo Zone of the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and People's Region in Ethiopia. Karo is described as being closely related to its neighbors, Hamer and Banna, with a lexical similarity of 81%.[1]
In ISO 639-3 there is also a Karo (Brazil), so Karo (Ethiopia) is used to distinguish this language from that one.
