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 15341 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.
