Similar to the previous analysis of J lineages found in Ethiopia from the Plaster paper, the other prevalent lineage in Ethiopia, A-M13 (formerly known also as A3b2), is also analyzed below. A total of 616 A-M13 lineages were reported in the study, of which ~32% were classified as Semitic speakers, ~40% as Cushitic speakers, ~17% as Omotic speakers and the remainder within the Nilo-Saharan speaking macro-phylum.

Analyzing YDNA J lineages in Ethiopian linguistic groups
The extensive YDNA dataset found in the Plaster paper has a total of 691 YDNA lineages that belong to haplogroup J, although there is no more detailed SNP resolution reported for most of these lineages, it is safe to assume, from previous data on Ethiopia, that a vast majority of them would belong to J1-M267. There is a limited set of STR data that accompanies these lineages as well, namely only for the markers; 19, 388, 390, 391, 392 and 393.
According to the report, J lineages are proportionally found higher in Semitic speakers in Ethiopia, ~21% ,followed by Omotic speakers at ~ 12% and Cushitic speakers at ~ 8%. Out of the 691 YDNA J lineages reported, 259 were Semitic speakers, 266 spoke some type of Omotic language and most of the remainder spoke Cushitic languages.
