TIGRE

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 969 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: THE-TOO
TIGRE , a northern province of Abyssinia; one of the three
principal
  divisions of the country, the others being Amhara or Gondar in the centre and Shoa in the
south
 . The ras (or prince) of Tigre has been often a more powerful potentate than the nominal emperor. Tigre contains the town of Axum (q.v.),
capital
  of the
ancient
  Ethiopic
Empire
 . Adua (Adowa, q.v.) is the
capital
  of the province. (See ABYSSINIA.)
Tigrina, the dialect spoken in Tigre and Lasta, is nearer the
ancient
  Geez than is Amharic, the
official
  and more widely diffused language of Abyssinia. See J.
Schreiber
 ,
Manuel
  de la langue tigrai (Vienna, 18871893) ; and L. de Vito, Grammatica della lingua tigrigna (Rome, 1895).
