This book deals with how linguistic sexism manifests through the gender assignment systems of Afan Oromo, Amharic, and Gamo in the light of the social and cultural lives of the linguistic communities. Among the three languages, human nouns such as personal names, administration titles, professional titles, religious titles, and generic human nouns manifest sexism. Furthermore, non-human animate nouns also exhibit a gender bias ideology among all three languages. Besides, inanimate nouns such as names of plants, geographical bodies, names of deities, celestial bodies, and materials, also show the gender-bias ideology among the Oromo, Amharic, and Gamo languages. Moreover, in Afan Oromo, Amharic, and Gamo, the gender of abstract nouns is mostly masculine.
