Regional state in Ethiopia

The Tigray Region (or simply Tigray; officially the Tigray National Regional State) is the northernmost regional state in Ethiopia. The Tigray Region is the homeland of the Tigrayan, Irob and Kunama people. Its capital and largest city is Mekelle. Tigray is the fifth-largest by area, the fourth-most populous, and the fifth-most densely populated of the 11 regional states.

Tigray is bordered by Eritrea to the north, the Amhara Region to the south, the Afar Region to the east, and Sudan to the west. Towns in Tigrai include: Mekelle, Adigrat, Axum, Shire, Adwa, Humera, Dansha, Mai Kadra, Enticho, Feresmay, Wukro, Agula'e, Freweyni, Korarit, Adi Daero, Ketema Ngus, Adi Remets, Sheraro, Abiy Addi, Atsbi, Hawzen, Adi Gudom, Adi Shu, Chercher, Korem, Maychew, Alamata, Mekoni, Rama, May Tsebri, Addi Remets, Hagere Selam,Dowhan and Zalambessa.

Tigray's official language is Tigrinya, similar to that of southern Eritrea. The Tigray region had an estimated pre-war population of 7,070,260. The majority of the population (c. 80%) are farmers, contributing 46% to the regional gross domestic product (2009).

Although the percentage of Muslims in Tigray is less than 5%, it has supposedly been historically Islam's doorway to the region and to Africa at large. Approximately 99% of Tigrayans are Orthodox Christian. Ethnic Tigrayans have the highest percentage of Orthodox Christians in the world.
