Here are some clues to look for when u meet Abesha....
However the accuracy rate of this method is still unknown since its still an on goin' study.

If you met a man who shook your hand while his left hand was in his pocket and spoke a word that you have never heard before, you just met an abasha
man from Harar, Drre-Dhawa, perhaps Aderre man



If you met a man who shook your hand while covering your right hand with his left by bending at the waist slightly and introduced himself as
"Solomon Yimam", you just met my friend Suleyman Imam from Wallo region, perhaps a Wolloyee



If you met a man who bowed at a 10 degree angle by placing his right foot infront of his left foot and shook your hand ever so gently, you probably met a man from Addis Ababa, perhaps a Guragea dude


If you met a person who bowed at a 45 degree angle by placing the left foot infront of the right foot and shook your hand so violently that you felt
your shoulder coming off and your brain moving insider your skull, you just met my friend Hagos, a Tigrre mechanic


If you met a woman who stood still and bowed at 90 degree angle so quickly that her afro moved forwards and then backwards before she extended her
hand, you better run for your life because she is probably an Eritrean women who was deported form Addiss Ababa and currently taking marshal arts

If you met a man who said to you, "My wife works the night shift,"you just met a Gondarre married man, so he thinks



If you met a woman who told you "Gashe works night shift," you just met a Guragea married woman - so she thinks



If you met a woman who cannot pronounce the letter "P," don't be a fool, she is a Somali woman pretending to be an Ethiopian Chick


If you met a woman who gave you her phone number and told you to identify yourself very clearly when you call because there are hundreds of people
with your first name who call regularly, you just met a Gojamme phone sex operator Check your next month phone bill carefully



If you met a woman who offerd to call you instead when you ask for her phone number, you just met an Aderre woman who's happily married to a
Guragea man



If you met a man who shook your hand and touched his chest with his palm and stared at your wife while he was talking to you, say your prayers, because you just met a man form Arsi (Arusi), perhaps armed and dangerous



If you met a man who introduced his female companion as "my girl,"you just met my friend Zewdu, a pimp from Addis Ababa


If you met in a mall a couple with a young son who tasted your patience by repeatedly kicking and stepping on your foot while you talked to the father
and hoped that the mother would see her rude child and bring an end to your suffering any time soon but that never happened, you just met an Oromo man
from harar who is married to a Somali woman



If you saw a man waving his cane (dulla) out of a car window to point out all the wonderful things he see while he's driven around town, you just met
an Oromo father visiting his son in Minneapolis



If you saw a woman's butt while she was waking toward you, she is probably a Somali woman and she doesn't give a damm about you



If you met a woman who seems to have two left feet attached to the end of what looked like a pair of TV antenna, run as fast as you can Trust me, you
don't wanna know her


P.S PLZZZZZZZZ NO OFFENSE...THIS IS JUST FOR FUN!!!
