dc.description.abstractThis study is about sound correspondences and change of twenty-four consonant phonemes and five vowel phonemes in Highland East Cushitic languages (Burji, Hadiyya, Kambaata, Sidaama and Gedeo). The objective was to identify and establish phonological correspondences, to deduce sound changes and to contribute to the development of historical and comparative study of the Cushitic languages and of HEC. Data was collected from Hudson’s Comparative Highland East Cushitic Dictionary. Then, the collected data were analyzed within the framework of the comparative method. The results of the analysis show that most of the consonant phonemes correspond regularly among the languages. Some non-identity correspondences were also identified. Irregular correspondences of some sounds were also noted among the languagesen_US
