Hamitic[edit]

Wouldn't it be good if the term Hamitic were included and discussed in this article? 173.88.241.33 (talk) 01:12, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The term Hamatic is no longer used for describing Afro-Asiatic language-speaking Africans in modern linguistics or anthropology. It was a controversial and pseudo-scientific term term coined during the Era of Scientific Racisms that has been debunked. "Afro-Asiatic language-speaking Africans" or another similar phrase or term is the more correct way to describe these various people g. HistoryEtCulture (talk) 18:06, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from List of ethnic groups in Ethiopia and merge to People of Ethiopia[edit]

Merge from List of ethnic groups in Ethiopia and merge to People of Ethiopia, because the List of ethnic groups in Ethiopia article is redundant, makes it hard to link to both interconnected (or the same) topics at the same time. Plus, the "Officially recognized ethnic groups in Ethiopia" of the List of ethnic groups in Ethiopia article (its only section) is already include in the People of Ethiopia but has some formatting errors.

White ethiopian?[edit]

The presence of white people in Ethiopia is attested at least since the Vth century BC. Why are they not mentioned in this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A03F:6B8E:EE00:5124:1B71:F5F8:73C0 (talk) 13:32, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 18 June 2021[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) Lennart97 (talk) 19:38, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

People of Ethiopia → Ethiopians – The demonym Ethiopian is more common and practical than the artificial, longer, and rarely used phrase "people of Ethiopia. This would also match with similar articles like Eritreans and Djiboutians. RiverNile1 (talk) 19:08, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Scorpions13256 (talk) 20:20, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. Scorpions13256 (talk) 20:23, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support It is better than to entitled "People of Ethiopia", and "Ethiopians" is the most widely used term and intensifier to Ethiopia. The Supermind (talk) 17:00, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support per WP:NCET and WP:PLURAL, which prefer the plural demonym form when it is available as the most WP:CONCISE option. RGloucester — ☎ 15:32, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ethiopian genetics (including other HOA populations)[edit]

This 2019 study may be relevant for the genetic section and interested people:[[1]]

Abstract:

The presence of genomic signatures of Eurasian origin in contemporary Ethiopians has been reported by several authors and estimated to have arrived in the area from 3000 years ago. Several studies reported plausible source populations for such a signature, using haplotype based methods on modern data or single-site methods on modern or ancient data. These studies did not reach a consensus and suggested an Anatolian or Sardinia-like proxy, broadly Levantine or Neolithic Levantine as possible sources. We demonstrate, however, that the deeply divergent, autochthonous African component which accounts for ~50% of most contemporary Ethiopian genomes, affects the overall allele frequency spectrum to an extent that makes it hard to control for it and, at once, to discern between subtly different, yet important, Eurasian sources (such as Anatolian or Levant Neolithic ones). Here we re-assess pattern of allele sharing between the Eurasian component of Ethiopians (here called “NAF” for Non African) and ancient and modern proxies. Our results unveil a genomic legacy that may connect the Eurasian genetic component of contemporary Ethiopians with Sea People and with population movements that affected the Mediterranean area and the Levant after the fall of the Minoan civilization.

Another 2020 paper suggests that the Eurasian admixture is considerable lower than previous papers suggested, estimating only 15-20% Eurasian admixture on average. Source: [[2]]

Abstract:

The African Horn region that includes the Abyssinian is one of the areas in the world that harbor high human genetic diversity manifesting past intermingling of people of different origins attributed to its geographic immediacy to the middle east and being historical trade and religio-cultural hub. Here, we performed a genetic structure analysis of linguistically differentiated populations of Ethiopia, South Sudan, and Somali. To get insight into the genetic landscape of the horn of Africa against the rest of the world, we leverage HapMap SNPs data from Utah residents with Northern and Western European ancestry (CEU), Maasai (MKK), and Yoruba (YRI) and analyzed for genetic admixture and diversity. The genetic and linguistic affiliations mismatch for most Cushitic and Semitic language speakers. The gradients of genetic variations among the different sub-populations within the region show gene-flow directions and past mass population movements. Ethiopians that predominately inhabited the central and northern Ethiopia harbored ~10-15% of CEU admixture. The African horn ancestral line contributed a total of ~20%, 5%, and 2% to MKK, YRI, and CEU, respectively. MKK showed a high genetic diversity comparable to the Ethiopian Cushitic, Semitic, and North Omotic language speakers. Allelic distribution frequencies among the populations at some outlier loci may also provide insight into the adaptations to critical environmental factors such as Malaria.

Statistics, and archiving the old nationalist junk on here.[edit]

Not even sure if anyone maintains this page regularly to care much, but old discussions on this talk page really need to be archived as it's filled with nationalist junk that either ignores the point or just cries about something unnecessary / insults everyone, and most of these date back to as far as 2006.

Secondly, the statistics on the population of Ethiopians outside Ethiopia are much lower than what's true, I've begun trying to fix some of these. However, it'll take a while. ballads^one 23:19, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit regarding the former, It's been fixed. ballads^one 23:28, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thats how to do it.[edit]

Every language Ethiopians speak= how many Ethiopians there are in Finland. Deal with it u %!#% Uslager (talk) 15:26, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your Data is 9 years old[edit]

You should not comment anything before u get up to date info Uslager (talk) 19:48, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
