Borana is also an alternate Spanish name of the Boran sub-family of the larger Witotoan language family.
The Borana, also called the Boran, are an animist East African ethnic group living in northern Kenya and southern Ethiopia (Oromia). They are a sub-group of the Oromo people and represent one of the two halves of the original Oromos (the other half being the Barentu). They are nomadic, but recently some Borana have taken up agriculture.

They speak Borana, or afaani Boraana, a Cushitic language.
