  • The Soddo or Kistane Gurage (ክስታኔ) (endonym: Aymellel, Gordena)' a subgroup of the Gurage who inhabit the south-central part of Ethiopia, considered the northern geographic and linguistic subset of the Gurage and speak the Soddo Gurage language or Kistanigna (ክስታንኛ). They primarily inhabit the Soddo (woreda) in the Gurage Zone, but large amounts also live in various parts of Ethiopia, particularly in Addis Abeba, Nazret, Butajira, and Dire Dawa. They are related to the Sebat Bet Gurage and other Gurage sub-groups, however, in contrast to the Sebat Bet Gurage and Silte, they are exclusively and almost entirely Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Christians. The Soddo Gurage are known for and pride themselves on their Orthodox Christian identity, which they have historically practiced since ancient times, and from which their name Kistane (lit. Christian) derives its name from, as it is the traditional and preferred name by locals for the people, although Soddo is still popularly used. The Soddo Gurage are related to their fellow Gurages, including the Dobi, who live south and are also referred to as "Kistane", as well as the Meskan and . They also shared considerable geographic and linguistic polity with the Gafat, now an extinct group, and which was located adjacent to them, encompassing territory that once stretched widely to Gojjam and Kingdom of Damot in the west before the incursions of the Oromo migrations.
