This study's major goal is to evaluate the socioeconomic impacts of the anywaa Nationality of the Abobo and Gog district in the Gambella People's National Regional State's anywaa Nationality Zone's use of the Amharic language. Both quantitative and qualitative methodologies have been employed to complete the study's stated objectives. In order to achieve the aforementioned objective, the study used qualitative data collection techniques like interviews, observation, and focus group discussions to collect primary data from a number of informants in the Anywaa Nationality zone of the Abob and Gog district. There were 129 informants in the study overall. The secondary data source was assembled from published and unpublished sources, including books, journals, and other research initiatives. This study also employed non-probability and probability sampling techniques to reach its objectives. Simple random procedures and purposive sample strategies were utilized in probability sampling techniques. The findings of this study demonstrate that no new employment opportunities for the local populace were created, and Amharic was not employed as an official working language. Amharic was neither spoken nor written in the majority of the communities in the study area. The study also points out the serious drawbacks of using Amharic as the only working language for local development. One of the primary barriers preventing individuals from visiting the study region is the majority of agriculture agencies' poor Amharic proficiency. As a result, it posed a sizable barrier to community growth and had an impact on the socioeconomic status of the studied region both directly and indirectly.
