Please add Oromo as a language option
Hello,
Fayai Dayi (2021) is in the Oromo language, not Amharic language as currently displayed on imdb. Oromo is not currently an option in the language dropdown list.
Additionally, The Athlete (2009) has some dialogue in Oromo as well.
As the most widely spoken native language in Ethiopia (and second in total speakers), the Oromo language should be a selectable option on the site, as more and more films are being made in Ethiopia, and the number of films made in Oromo is likely to increase.
More information can be found on Ethnologue.
The two-letter ISO code is om.
Many thanks.

By clicking the update button at the bottom of the page, you can submit a request to delete this language from this title.
About adding a new language: This might very well take years: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/please-add-the-shipibo-language-to-the-database/5f4a7ae28815453dbabfa6bc

Hi @Fergenaprido -
I'm just following up to confirm that the language addition of "Oromo" is now available among the listed languages within the contribution form.
Cheers!

Hi All -
Thanks again for requesting theses new Language listing, I wanted to provide an update on the issue. We are so sorry it has taken this amount of time to add the selection, due to our backlog we don't have the resources to work through new language additions at this given time, for this reason we are closing this thread but know that we are still tracking the request and will pick it up when we have the bandwidth to handle it.
