A majority of the population adheres to Christianity (mainly the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and P麓ent麓ay) and the historical Kingdom of Aksum was one of the first states to officially adopt the religion, whereas around a third follows Islam (primarily Sunni). The country is the site of the Migration to Abyssinia and the oldest Muslim settlement in Africa at Negash. A substantial population of Ethiopian Jews, known as Bete Israel, also resided in Ethiopia until the 1980s.&#91;27&#93;&#91;28&#93; Ethiopia is a multilingual nation with around 80 ethnolinguistic groups, the four largest of which are the Oromo, Amhara, Somali and Tigrayans. Most people in the country speak Afroasiatic languages of the Cushitic or Semitic branches. Additionally, Omotic languages are spoken by ethnic minority groups inhabiting the southern regions. Nilo-Saharan languages are also spoken by the nation麓s Nilotic ethnic minorities. Oromo is the most populous language by native speakers, while Amharic is the most populous by number of total speakers and serves as the working language in the federal government. Ge麓ez remains important as a liturgical language, both for the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, and for the Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews)." - (en.wikipedia.org 01.02.2020)</dd> <dt>Latitude</dt> <dd>40</dd> <dt>Longitude</dt> <dd>9</dd> <dt>Population</dt><dd>109,224,559</dd> </dl> </section> <section id="objects"><a id="search_museum_digital" href="https://global.museum-digital.org/objects?ort_id=6502">Search for this on museum-digital</a> <ul> <li> <figure> <a href="https://global.museum-digital.org/object/1429783"><img src="https://asset.museum-digital.org/nds/images/46/6156-1929588/goldmuenze_des_aksumitisc/200w_goldmuenze-des-aksumitischen-reiches-6156.jpg" alt="Goldm眉nze des Aksumitischen Reiches" /></a> </figure> <div> <h4>Goldm眉nze des Aksumitischen Reiches</h4> <p>Westlich des Roten Meeres...</p> <p class="image_information"> <a href="https://global.museum-digital.org/object/1429783">Object information</a> <br />Image: Museum August Kestner - CC BY-NC-SA </p> </div> </li> <li> <figure> <a href="https://global.museum-digital.org/object/1990555"><img src="https://asset.museum-digital.org/rlp/images/14/80803-hm_0_11984/das_hochland_-_der_fluss_/200w_das-hochland--der-fluss-baresa-80803.jpg" alt="Das Hochland - Der Fluss Baresa" /></a> </figure> <div> <h4>Das Hochland - Der Fluss Baresa</h4> <p>Der Fluss Beresa im Hochland...</p> <p class="image_information"> <a href="https://global.museum-digital.org/object/1990555">Object information</a> <br />Image: Historisches Museum der Pfalz, Speyer - CC BY </p> </div> </li> <li> <figure> <a href="https://global.museum-digital.org/object/1999942"><img src="https://asset.museum-digital.org/rlp/images/14/81379-hm_0_11986/das_tal_des_berges_tschak/200w_das-tal-des-berges-tschakka-81379.jpg" alt="Das Tal des Berges Tschakka" /></a> </figure> <div> <h4>Das Tal des Berges Tschakka</h4> <p>Johann Martin Bernatz...</p> <p class="image_information"> <a href="https://global.museum-digital.org/object/1999942">Object information</a> <br />Image: Historisches Museum der Pfalz, Speyer - CC BY </p> </div> </li> <li> <figure> <a href="https://global.museum-digital.org/object/2000337"><img src="https://asset.museum-digital.org/agrargeschichte/images/1/4210-hms_rau_140__a470/haken_aus_abessinien/200w_haken-aus-abessinien-4210.jpg" alt="Haken aus Abessinien / Hohenheimer Modell" /></a> </figure> <div> <h4>Haken aus Abessinien / Hohenheimer Modell</h4> <p>Beschreibung von Ernst Klein...</p> <p class="image_information"> <a href="https://global.museum-digital.org/object/2000337">Object information</a> <br />Image: Deutsches Landwirtschaftsmuseum, Universit盲t Hohenheim - CC BY-NC-SA </p> </div> </li> <li> <figure> <a href="https://global.museum-digital.org/object/2002706"><img src="https://asset.museum-digital.org/rlp/images/14/81659-hm_0_04485/landschaft_in_abessinien/200w_landschaft-in-abessinien-81659.jpg" alt="Landschaft in Abessinien" /></a> </figure> <div> <h4>Landschaft in Abessinien</h4> <p>Zeichnung einer kargen, von...</p> <p class="image_information"> <a href="https://global.museum-digital.org/object/2002706">Object information</a> <br />Image: Historisches Museum der Pfalz, Speyer - CC BY-SA </p> </div> </li></ul> </section> </div> <div class="lists"> <section id="equivalents"> <h3>References</h3> <ul> <li> <a href="http://datos.bne.es/persona/XX451088">bne<span>XX451088</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="https://catalogue.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb12123982d">bnf<span>12123982d</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="https://d-nb.info/gnd/4000639-6">gnd<span>4000639-6</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79081279">loc<span>n79081279</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="https://id.ndl.go.jp/auth/ndlna/00562056">ndl<span>00562056</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="https://ikmk.smb.museum/ndp/land/8">ndp-ikmk<span>8</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="https://viaf.org/viaf/132211363">viaf<span>132211363</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q115">wikidata<span>Q115</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="http://vocab.getty.edu/tgn/7000489">tgn<span>7000489</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.geonames.org/337996">geonames<span>337996</span></a> </li> </ul> </section> </div> <iframe id="map" scrolling="no" src="https://www.openstreetmap.org/export/embed.html?bbox=39.95%2C8.95%2C40.05%2C9.05&layer=mapnik" title="Map"></iframe> <p class="lastUpdTime">[Status: Checked;
