::[[User:Ms Sarah Welch|Ms Sarah Welch]], that means you want to include your conclusion of the whole research and exclude the summary of the writer's own conclusion, you may correct me if I am wrong but that is what am getting for the reason of your opposition. If so the question is which conclusion we take the book writer or wikipedia editor? By the way what is the issue on Morin's conclusion found in the second paragraph [https://books.google.com.et/books?id=JpNY7VPn1WUC&pg=PA432#v=onepage&q=%22For%20these%20three%20reasons%22&f=false here]? Why that should not be summerised and be included in the article? — [[User:EthiopianHabesha|EthiopianHabesha]] ([[User talk:EthiopianHabesha|talk]]) 12:13, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

:::@EthiopianHabesha: Morin's conclusion is that Galla may have been a '''"political term"''' in parts of Ethiopia, which is what the article is saying. I therefore do not understand your concern. If you want the acknowledgment of Afar language, we can word that in. If you want the acknowledgment of "in Afar, it could have been general Cushitic groups", we can word that in. We just need to be careful in not over-emphasizing Afar language perspective here because it is very similar to Saho-language, with roots closer to Djibouti and Eritrea, which is far from southern regions where Oromo origins and history have been. Please read the whole chapter of Morin on all of this, or look at the demographic maps [https://www.ethnologue.com/language/aar here] and [https://www.ethnologue.com/language/ssy here]. Frankly, we are not making progress because you are evading my questions and repeating yourself in ways that neither reflects this article nor the source we are discussing.

::::[[User:Ms Sarah Welch|Ms Sarah Welch]], my concern is why censor Morin's statment saying the term Galla being applied on Afar people (generally, used to refer all high & low social classes of Afar people) as well as on Cushitic speaking groups? Morin mentioned "''political term''" to explain how it is used in Amda Seyon chronicle, and the word 'political' is not associated with the three definitions defined by the Afar people as 1)crowd (ignored in your summary), 2)foreign and 3)Ordinary people (emphasized in your summary). Therfore, when including 'political' in your summary it should be included based on what the writer is exactly implying and if not it is considered Synthesis. — [[User:EthiopianHabesha|EthiopianHabesha]] ([[User talk:EthiopianHabesha|talk]]) 17:59, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
