gamo

Gamo is a term that can refer to several different subjects. In Ethiopia, the Gamo are an ethnic group living mainly in the southwestern part of the country. They inhabit the Gamo Gofa area and surrounding zones within the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region. The Gamo language, also called Gamo, belongs to the Omotic branch of the Afroasiatic family and is part of the Gamo–Gofa subgroup. It has multiple dialects and is spoken by communities in the Gamo area, with literacy and language use varying by community and educational access.

Gamo may also refer to Gamo Outdoor S.A., a Spanish manufacturer of air rifles and air pistols. The company produces a range of sporting firearms and related equipment sold internationally, and is known for offering entry- to mid-level pneumatic air guns used in sport shooting and training.

In addition to these uses, Gamo can be a surname and appears in various place names and cultural contexts. As a proper noun, the term Gamo thus has distinct meanings in different regions and fields, referring to a people and language in Ethiopia, a European firearms manufacturer, and other unrelated uses.
