The languages of Ethiopia. A new lexicostatistic classification and some problems of diffusion.
A lexicostatistical study of most of the languages of Ethiopia. Includes slightly modified Swadesh wordlists for a large number of Cushitic, Omotic, Ethiosemitic, and Nilo-Saharan (Nilotic, Surmic, Koman, etc.) languages. Unfortunately, the survey suffers from numerous inaccuracies of phonetic transcription and semantic glossing, making it practically unusable as a primary source for any of the languages concerned.
The most important source of comparative lexical data on various Gumuz dialects, collected by the author himself as well as incorporating data from previous studies, both officially published and archival manuscripts. Unfortunately, the data come in the form of restricted lexical lists rather than complete vocabularies, and Bender's own materials seem to suffer from numerous phonetic and semantic inaccuracies.

Collection of Swadesh wordlists for most known Omotic languages, with etymological comments by the author. For some languages, contains manuscript data from unpublished or hard-to-find sources.
A collection of mid-size vocabularies from 12 "Bushman" dialects (several North, South, and Central Khoisan idioms are represented), with most of the data collected by D. Bleek herself. Not as thorough as Bleek 1956, and even less reliable in regards to data transcription, but the English-Bushman data organization principle makes it a useful source to consult in the preparation of Swadesh wordlists.
