The
Majang people, or
Majangir, live in southwestern
Ethiopia and speak
a Nilo-Saharan language of the
Surmic cluster. The 1998 census gave the total of the Majangir population as 15,341, but since they live scattered in the hills in dispersed settlements (Stauder 1971), their actual total number is undoubtedly much higher. They live around cities of
Tepi, Mett'i, and scattered southwest of
Mizan Teferi and towards
Gambela.
