The speakers are called by their language "tigre". Mesfin

Please could someone confirm whether Tigre is generally accepted to be descended from Ge'ez rather than a sister? This isn't shown in the structure at

I just added a bit to the opening paragraph. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 21:42, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This artcle claims geez script was invented by Sweedish Missionaries,This contradicts the Geez article,not to mention it rediculous --24.193.49.124 (talk) 20:38, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The way I read it, it implies that there was no written system for the Tigre language until the 19th century, when Swedish Missionaries took the existing Ge'ez system and adapted it for Tigre. Evidently, this should be clarified (and

attributed). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 23:08, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply

Sorry, my mistake. 157.157.230.175 (talk) 17:58, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article is incorrect in saying that the Tigre language is not spoken in Ethiopia. What is the language spoken in Tigray? I am not trying to start any Ethiopia vs. Eritrea arguments, just clarify the issues. Pete unseth (talk) 21:51, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

For the word "king, the plural form has a vowel symbol that is unexplained.

• negus - king; negüs - kings;

Is the second vowel a typo? If not, this should be explained.Pete unseth (talk) 16:54, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I find some Tigre words spelled with <c> and others with <ch>. I think the <ch> is a mistake. Here are the singular and plural fors of 'star'. I think the <ch> forms should be spelled <c>. Am I correct? ኮኮብ cochöb - star;ከዋክብ cauachib - stars Pete unseth (talk) 17:13, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The number seems to be changing with no explanation and no reference to a source. LegacyVisual (talk) 23:00, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@LegacyVisual: It was always sourced. I've updated it nonetheless. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 03:32, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have proposed the deletion of the page Tig (Tigrinya language). This page aims to clarify the distinctions between Tigrinya, Tigre, Tigrai, & numerous derived terms. You can find the deletion discussion page here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tig (Tigrinya language). Very briefly, I do not oppose some clarification page as such, but rather oppose the invented term tig. I strongly encourage those who are following this page & who have an opinion on the matter to vote or comment at the deletion discussion—whether or not they agree with me.
