Tigre people
Eritrean ethnic group
Tigre people
The Tigre people (Tigre: ትግሬ, romanized: tigrē) are the speakers of the Tigre language, a Semitic language. They live mainly in the lowlands and northern escarpments of Eritrea, with a smaller population in eastern Sudan. The name covers a number of groups of different origins that came to share the language, not a single descent group. Most Tigre are Sunni Muslims. In several Tigre-speaking societies the word tigre also named a subordinate serf class, as distinct from a ruling stratum, and this double meaning is a common source of confusion.
