  • The term Habesha refers to a South Semitic-speaking group of people whose cultural, linguistic, and in certain cases, ancestral origins trace back to the tribes of the Axumite (Habasha) and the Da'amat kingdom. Today they include the Amhara and Tigray-Tigrinya ethnic groups of Ethiopia and Eritrea who are predominantly Orthodox Christians, and have been since AD 332. The Amhara and Tigray ethnicities combined make up about 36% of Ethiopia's population (ca. 23 million Amhara, 4.5 million Tigray) while Tigrinyas make up about half of Eritrea's population (ca. 2.25 of 4.5 million). However, a broader definition of this term may include some segments of the Semitic-speaking Gurage groups (in the southwest) and the Harari (in the east/southeast), as well, because of their strong historical links to the Amhara and Tigray. In the broadest sense, the word "Habesha" may refer to anyone from Ethiopia or Eritrea, while some would exclude themselves from this association.
  • Der Begriff Habesha bezeichnet in seinem engeren, historischen Sinn Angehörige der semitischsprachigen Volksgruppen der Amharen und Tigray/Tigrinya im äthiopischen Hochland, wird aber auch im weiteren Sinne für alle Äthiopier und Eritreer verwendet. Die Ethnien sind sich zwar sehr ähnlich, sprechen aber verschiedene – wenngleich verwandte – Sprachen.
