Light, filtered through the trees outside, came from windows in the rear. Chairs faced the stage in a semicircle. Two men were standing near the stage, telling stories. Their backs were to the windows, and I found it hard to see their faces. I took a seat and waited for my eyes to adjust. F O L K W I S D O M "Conejo. Muerto," said one, scratching his head in bewilderment. As I listened, I could see that they were skilled storytellers: They moved in and out of each other's space like dancers, telling the tale in tandem, each allowing the other the spotlight in the crucial part of his story. But it wasn't their skill that held my interest. It was their story. There was Juan Garca, an Ecuadorian who had never previously been in the United States, telling in Spanish a story that was similar to one I had heard long before in English. I had even told it a number of times.

We have several barriers to meeting this challenge. But God is providing a way to meet them. Language - With over 6,500 languages the task seems impossible. Each aspect of a language poses a unique set of problems. This confines us to producing material by population size. Spoken Language - There is a problem with dialects, pronounciation and the availability of qualified people to teach the gospel. Also, a single written word can have several meanings depending on the tone used to pronounce the word.

Extractions: Population NARRATIVE PROFILE Location : The name Beja is applied to a grouping of Muslim peoples speaking dialects of a Cushitic language called Beja, and living in Sudan, Eritrea and Egypt. They are traditionally pastoral people whose territory covers some 110,000 square miles in the extreme northeast of Sudan. History : Many scholars believe the Beja to be derived from early Egyptians because of their language and physical features. They are the indigenous people of this area, and we first know of them in historical references in the Sixth Dynasty of ancient Egypt. Over the centuries, they had contact and some influence from Greeks, Romans, Arabs and Turks. A few Beja became Christians in the sixth century. The southern Beja were part of the Christian Kingdom of Axum centered in what is now southern Eritrea and northern Ethiopia. Although never completely conquered by a foreign power, the Beja in the 15th century were absorbed into Islam by marriages and trading contacts with nearby Arab tribes. In the seventeenth century they expanded farther south seeking better pastures and conquering other peoples along the way. By the 18th century, the Hadendowa Beja were the dominant people of eastern Sudan.

On 9 August 1999, Dagestani and Chechen islamist fighters leaded by Chechen former prime minister and hero of the Independence war against Russia, Shamil Basaev, took several villages in Dagestan, in the border zone with Chechenia. On 10 August 1999 the Shura of Dagestan proclaimed the Islamic Republic of Dagestan, under the law of the Sharia , and declared the Djihad (Holy War) to Russia. The Congress of the Peoples of Ichkeria and Dagestan, created by Basaev, was recently renamed Mejlisul (probably meaning Supreme Mejlis or Council) of the Musulmans of Ichkeria (Chechnya) and Dagestan. According to the statement of the Shura Declaration of Independence In the name of God the Merciful, the Compassionate! We, the Muslims of Dagestan, officially declare the restoration of the independent Islamic state of Dagestan.

By the 18th century, the Hadendowa Beja were the dominant people of eastern Sudan. There has never been an official census in Ethiopia/Eritrea, so figures are estimates from various field sources, notably published anthropologists. Uncertain data indicates there may be as many as 2,300,000 people total who speak the Beja language and identify themselves as Beja. Our figures estimate Beja speakers at about 107,000 in Eritrea, about 60,000 in Egypt and 2,134,000 in Sudan. It appears there are approximately 99,000 Beni-Amer speakers of Tigre. The total number of all Beja people in Eritrea speaking Beja or Tigre appears to be about 206,000. Some estimates are higher than 500,000. All the Beja peoples, by our more conservative estimates, number 2,540,315.

While Egypt was the world's first indisputable nation-state, unique in its complex politico-religious system augmented by magnificent material remains and a corpus of epic literature, in Ethiopia, the very cradle of mankind, the material evidence of its ancient civilisation alone attests to its former glory. The Ancient Egyptians, from the earliest times, kept records of their kings and this chronology is central to the chronological structure of the early Aegean, Levantine and Mesopotamian civilisations. It is, however, of no import to Ancient Ethiopia. If the Ethiopians did keep records, these have either been lost for ever or not yet discovered. The attempts by unnamed writers to compile an Ethiopian king-list the Kebra Negast or Book of the Glory of Kings from the Queen of Sheba to the rise of the Zagwe dynasty, is believed to be a 13th-century creation; its aim seems to have been to establish the political credentials of the so-called Solomonic dynasty, an Ethiopian king-list that traces the rulers of Ancient Axum to Menelik I (originally

QUBE AFAAN OROMO The Oromo, the largest ethnic group, comprise 50%-60% or about 25 million of the population of the Ethiopian Empire State. They are "a very ancient race, the indigenous stock, perhaps, on which most other peoples in this part of Eastern Africa (the Horn of Africa) had been grafted" [1]. Their fertile country, Oromiyaa, located between 2 and 12 N and 34 and 44 East, is 600,000 square kilometers. Afaan Oromo, a highly developed spoken language, is at the top of the list [2] of the distinct and separate 1000 or so languages used in Africa, the most polyglot of the continents. It is classified [3] as one of the Kushitic [4] languages spoken in the Ethiopian Empire, Somalia, Sudan, Tanzania, and Kenya. Of the Kushitic languages spoken in the Ethiopian Empire State, Afaan Oromo, Somali, Sidama, Hadiya, and Afar-Saho are the languages with the greatest number of speakers.
