Yem people The Yem are an ethnic group living in south-western Ethiopia. They are also called by their neighbors as the Janjero, but the Yem consider this exonym derogatory, since it sounds similar to the Amharic word "zinjero" which means "baboon". Their native language is Yemsa, one of the Omotic languages, although many also speak Oromiffa or Amharic. The neighbors for Yem include the Gurage, Hadya and Kembata to the east across the Omo River and the Jimma Oromo to the south, north and west. ==History== The first reference to Yem as a political unit is found, under the name of Jangero, in the victory song of King Yesaq (1412-1427) of the Christian kingdom of Ethiopia, as paying tribute in the form of horses to the king.〔G.W.B. Huntingford, ''The historical geography of Ethiopia from the first century AD to 1704'', (Oxford University Press: 1989), p. 94〕 The first European traveler to mention Yem was the European traveler Father Fernandez, who travelled through their homeland in 1614.〔Balthazar Tellez, ''The Travels of the Jesuits in Ethiopia'', 1710 (LaVergue: Kessinger, 2010), p. 194〕
