The Aweer people, known by the arguably derogatory exonym "Boni," are historically a hunter gatherer people, traditionally subsisting on hunting, gathering, and collecting honey.[1] Their ancestral lands range along the Kenyan coast from the Lamu and Ijara Districts into Southern Somalia's Badaade District.[2] According to Ethnologue, there are around 8,000 speakers of Aweer. Aweer has similarities with the Garre language,[3][4][5] however, its speakers are ethnically distinct from Garre speakers.[6] Evidence suggests that the Aweer are remnants of the early hunter-gatherer inhabitants of Eastern Africa. According to linguistic, anthropological and other data, these groups later came under the influence of Eastern and Southern Cushitic peoples and adopted Afro-Asiatic languages.[7] References1. ^{{Cite journal|last=Biber|first=Douglas|last2=Heine|first2=Bernd|date=1984|title=The Waata Dialect of Oromo: Grammatical Sketch and Vocabulary|journal=Language|volume=60|issue=4|pages=992|doi=10.2307/413828|issn=0097-8507|jstor=413828}} 2. ^A.H.J.
