A short history of the Tigrinya language
Tigrinya (also spelled Tigrigna, also called Tigray or Tigrai) belongs to the Ethiopic sub-group of the Semitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic family of languages. It is closely related to the ancient language of Ethiopia, Ge’ez (now extinct), and also to Tigre.
The earliest written example of Tigrinya dates back to the 13th century – a text of local laws found in southern Eritrea. Tigrinya literature was strongly influenced by Ge’ez, especially in relation to Christian/Biblical writing. Ge’ez was used as literary medium for Tigrinya until relatively recently.
Which countries have Tigrinya as a national language?
Tigrinya is an official language in Eritrea (along with Arabic and English). It is recognised as a minority language in the Tigray region of Ethiopia.
How many people speak Tigrinya as their first language?
It is estimated that approximately 6.7 million people speak Tigrinya as their first language – 4.2 million in Ethiopia (where it is the third most spoken language after Amharic and Oromo) and 2.5 million in Eritrea (where it is the most widely spoken language).Read more
