The main objective of this study is to analyze Afan Oromo vocabulary knowledge of grade 5-8 students. Descriptive research design was used to conduct the research.

So, Afan Oromoo vocabulary knowledge of grade 5-8 students is low. Ingeneral, to give solution to this problem, Afan Oromo curriculum and syllabus designers and experts as wel as Ambo town administrative education office and primary schools Afan Oromo teachers need to work together.
