Abyssinia
Abyssinia (; also known as Abyssinie, Abissinia, Habessinien, or Al-Habash) is a term which referred to a region in the Horn of Africa, usually situated in the northern highlands of modern-day Ethiopia and Eritrea. The term, and its derivatives, were widely used internationally as an official synonym for Ethiopia until the mid-20th Century. A derivative ethnonym, Abyssinian, was often used to refer to the Ethio-Semitic speaking inhabitants of the highlands of Ethiopia and Eritrea.
