This was taken from one of my weird side projects. There seems to be no English-Hamer dictionary in all of the internet, so I made one. This is translated from a Spanish-Hamer dictionary. Also useful is this phonetic dictionary

HAMER - BANNA
El hamer - banna, llamado también hamar-koke, hammercoche, amarcoche, cocche, beshada, hamar, amar, bana o kara kerre, es utilizado por unas 27.000 personas en Etiopía, en el sur de la región Omo, cerca del río Omo, y en el norte del lago Turkana, en la zona fronteriza con Kenia y Sudán. Los Hamer y los Banna son dos etnias diferentes que comparten el mismo idioma.
