Ethnic or pan-ethnic identifier used to refer to Ethiopians and Eritreans
Habesha peoples (Ge'ez: ሐበሠተ; Amharic: ሐበሻ; Tigrinya: ሓበሻ; commonly used exonym: Abyssinians) is an ethnic or pan-ethnic identifier that has historically been applied to Semitic-speaking, mostly Oriental Orthodox Christian peoples native to the highlands of Ethiopia and Eritrea between Asmara and Addis Ababa (i.e. the predominantly Amhara and Tigray-Tigrinya population of historical Abyssinia) and this usage remains common today. The term is also used in varying degrees of inclusion and exclusion of other groups. Etymology.
