There are three ethnics in the North of ethiopia that have semitic langusges. all three languages are 50% and up the same.
1. Tigrigna spoken by about 6-7 million in ethiopia and 1.5 million in eritrea (both meles and Isayas are from this ethnic)
2. Amharic spoken by about 20 million ethnic Amara, but since its working language of ethiopia is also spoken by a lot more people.
3. Tigre spoken by 1.5 million people all in eritrea. The ethnic name is also Tigre.
I hope you know the Harreri, Silte, Guragie...etc are also from the same group.
