The Qemant are a small ethnic group in
Ethiopia, who, despite their close historical and ethnic relationship, should not be confused with the
Beta Israel.The ethnicity's population is roughly 172,000 (according to the census of 1994). However, only 1,625 people still speak Qemant, and it is considered endangered, as most children speak
Amharic; likewise, adherence to the traditional religion has dropped substantially, as most of the population has converted to
Christianity. Converts often consider themselves to have become
Amhara - which they see as a desirable goal.
