Berta people

The Berta or Bertha are an ethnic group living along the border of Sudan and Ethiopia. They speak a Nilo-Saharan language that is not related to those of their Nilo-Saharan neighbors (Gumuz, Uduk). Their total Ethiopian population is about 183,000 people.
== History ==
Their origins are to be found in eastern Sudan, in the area of the former Funj sultanate of Sinnar (1521-1804). During the 16th or 17th century, they migrated to western Ethiopia, in the area of the modern Benishangul-Gumuz Region. "Benishangul" is an Arabicized form of the original name ''Bela Shangul'', meaning "Rock of Shangul". This refers to a sacred stone located in a mountain in the Menge woreda, one of the places where the Berta originally settled when they arrived to Ethiopia.〔On the "Rock of Shangul", see Alessandro Triulzi, ("Trade, Islam, and the Mahdia in Northwestern Wallagga, Ethiopia", ''Journal of African History'' ), 16 (1975), p. 57 and the sources there cited.〕
Their arrival in Ethiopia was marked by strong territorial conflict among the diverse Berta communities. For this reason, and for protecting themselves from slave raids coming from Sudan, the Berta decided to establish their villages in naturally-defended hills and mountains, amidst rocky outcrops. Due to this harsh topography, houses and granaries were raised over stone pillars. German traveler Ernst Marno described Bertha architecture and villages in his ''Reisen im Gebiete des Blauen und Weissen Nil'' (Vienna, 1874). The Berta of Benishangul were incorporated into Ethiopia only in 1896.
After conflicts and raids receded during the 20th century, the Berta people moved to the valleys, where their villages are located today. During the 19th century, the area of Benishangul was divided in several sheikhdoms (Fadasi, Komosha, Gizen, Asosa), the most powerful of which was ruled by Sheikh Khoyele at the end of the 19th century.
