Ethiopia – Distribution of Mother-Tongues – a rare 1976 map uncovered

As part of our study on historical cartography and ethno-linguistic maps in the Horn of Africa and Western Tigray, we discovered the language map for this book, which contains significant information on the geographic region where the Tigrinya language is spoken: "Language in Ethiopia”, by M. L. Bender, J. D. Bowen, R. L. Cooper and C. A. Ferguson, published by Oxford University Press in 1976.

Actually Tigray border is Angareb or Atbara river. Woggera and Bellessa are the border with Amhara, Woggera from north and Bellessa from east. Wollo and Shoa were not part of Amhara.

Something published at somewhere does not mean it is true. This is another Rashid Abdi style. Whether the editors published their fabrications at Meqelle press or Oxford press, it can't take away the fact Humera-Welqaiat has been Amahara ;and their culture and psychology, history of governance is intrinsically Amhara. And they are being as old as Amhara itself existed in this part of Africa, Ethiopia. The Derga era missionary spies who created TPLF, provided the manual of destruction, fabrications does not count anything. There spy missionaries are neither academic researcher nor authorities vested in them by Ethiopian government, nor are Humera-Welqait residents who fought against the illegal occupations of Tigre settlers who crossed the natural boundary of Tekeze river. Why have the Welqait-Humera people been fighting against TPLF's occupation if they were Tigre? The Humera-Welqait people are naturally Amhara, no body can't take away this fact. Older historical accounts and studies already confirmed Humera Weqiat been an integral part of Amhara for thousands of years.


These missionaries were the precursors of Digital Woyane. Woyane been operative before the digital information platform evolved. Sadly, Tigres tie with the Britons never ended in good terms, it has been devastations as witnessed during era of Kassa Mircha as has been now with TPLF. Please keep bringing more fictions. Keep on dreaming you will pay thousands of Tigre youth lives as atribute to the Humera Welqait Amhara who has been fighting Tigre settelers since the last 30 years, because they believe from the bottom of their heart They Are Not Tigre.
