Shanqella (Amharic: ሻንቅላ šanqəlla sometimes spelled Shankella, Shangella, Shánkala, Shankalla or Shangalla) is an exonym for a number of ethnic groups that today reside primarily in the westernmost part of Ethiopia near South Sudan (especially Benishangul-Gumuz Region), but are known to have also inhabited more northerly areas until the late nineteenth century.

  • Shanqella (Amharic: ሻንቅላ šanqəlla sometimes spelled Shankella, Shangella, Shánkala, Shankalla or Shangalla) is an exonym for a number of ethnic groups that today reside primarily in the westernmost part of Ethiopia near South Sudan (especially Benishangul-Gumuz Region), but are known to have also inhabited more northerly areas until the late nineteenth century. A pejorative, the term was traditionally used by the local Afro-Asiatic-speaking populations to refer in general terms to darker-skinned ethnic groups, particularly to those from communities speaking Nilo-Saharan languages of Western Ethiopia. These were regarded as slave reserves by the highlanders. The etymology of Shanqella is uncertain. It has been suggested that the appellation may stem from an Amharic epithet meaning "black" (or dark-skinned). However, it is likely that the term is instead of more ancient, Agaw derivation given the Agaw substratum in the Amharic language. The 1935 League of Nations report detailed the dehumanization of Shanqella under the Ethiopian Empire. (en)
  • Shanqella (Gueês: ሻንቅላ [šānḳillā] às vezes soletrado Shankella, Shangella, Shánkala, Shankalla ou Shangalla) é um exônimo para vários grupos étnicos que hoje residem principalmente na parte ocidental da Etiópia, perto do Sudão do Sul (especialmente na região de Benichangul-Gumaz), mas é sabido que também habitaram áreas mais setentrionais até o final do século XIX. Pejorativo, o termo era tradicionalmente usado pelas populações de línguas afro-asiáticas para se referir às pessoas "negras" em geral, principalmente aquelas de comunidades que falam línguas nilo-saarianas. A etimologia de Shanqella é incerta. É sugerido que a denominação possa resultar de um epíteto amárico que significa "preto". No entanto, é provável que o termo seja, em vez de derivação agau mais antiga, dado o substrato agau na língua amárica. (pt)
