As to the recent statistical agency of Ethiopia, and estimated one third of the total population of the country(80M) is Oromo, but their data aren't reliable because as the government uses the statistical data for budget planning, it underestimates & for example the population of Tigray is overestimated to about 7M, just to allocate more budget for them, in reality it's below this figure. Somali is in fourth place, but in reality Somali should be in third place, next to Amhara. Oromo is the large ethnic group in the country.
