| dc.description.abstract | The FDRE constitution recognize the Amharic language as a sole federal working language, because of this in Ethiopian HEIs other activities, than the learning teaching activities, are held by using the Amharic language. Addis Ababa University as one of HEI of the country is also subject to this language policy. This research paper then tries to address the opportunities and challenges of accommodation of language diversity in Addis Ababa University in the area of catering, dormitory and library services. These specific areas are selected because it is these services that students use on daily bases, so these are the appropriate areas to show how linguistic diversity is accommodated in the university. Based on this, the research findings shows that since the catering, library and dormitory service in the university are given to students mainly by using the Amharic language, students who only spoke their mother tongue language faces difficulties of communication. Meanwhile the paper discusses the language policy of Ethiopia at the federal and sub national level.
