Libido (also known as Script error: No such module "Lang"., Mareqo, Mareko, Marekinga)[1] is an Afroasiatic language of Ethiopia, which is spoken in the Mareko special woreda in the Central Ethiopia Regional State, directly south-east of Butajira. According to the information of the Central Statistical Authority (2007) census, 64,381 people speak the language as their mother tongue. Most of them are multilingual, due to contact with other languages.[1]

Orthography
Libido has become written in recent times, following motivation from the Ethiopian language policy to use the Latin script; the language has also been taught since 2002 for grades 1 to 4.
