Tigray-Tigrinya people
The Tigray-Tigrinya people (ትግራይ - ትግርኛ) are an ethnic group inhabiting the southern and central parts of Eritrea and the northern highlands of Ethiopia's Tigray Region. Prior to 1995, they lived in Ethiopia's former provinces of Tigray, Begemder (Gonder), and Wollo, with the regions within these provinces that they inhabited (e.g. Wolqayt, Tsegede, Tselemti, Raya, Humera) later incorporated into the modern Tigray Region. The ''Tigray'' people, eponymous with the name of their territory, make up approximately 96.6% of the inhabitants of the Tigray Region, and comprise 6.1% of Ethiopia's total population, numbering a little over 5.7 million.〔(Ethiopia: A Model Nation of Minorities ) (accessed 22 March 2006)〕 Group members in Eritrea are known by the name of their language, ''Tigrinya'', and they constitute around 50% of the population, at about 3.4 million people. They primarily live in a region of Eritrea known as the ''Kebessa'', contained within the former ''awrajas'' of Hamasien, Seraye, and Akele Guzay, these later incorporated into Eritrea's present-day regions. The Tigray-Tigrinya speak Tigrinya, an Afro-Asiatic language belonging to the family's Semitic branch. Members from this ethnic group today form the dominant political force in both Ethiopia and Eritrea.
Tigray-Tigrinya are not to be confused with the Tigre people who speak Tigre, a closely related Afro-Asiatic language.
==Name==
All mother tongue speakers of Tigrinya in Eritrea are officially referred to as ''Bihér-Tigrinya'' (or simply, ''Tigrinya''). Also, a few number of non indegeneous Muslim Tigrinya speakers, are as such known as the Jeberti. The Gebertis migrated to Eritrea from Tigray, Ethiopia in late 1890s after Emperor Yohhannes of Ethiopia expelled them for favoring the muslim Mahdists of Sudan. Jeberiti or Geberti in Tigrinya means " land less, tax payer, or foreigner".
