EspañolQWARA PROVINCE
'Qwara' (also spelled 'K'wara') was a province in Ethiopia, located between Lake Tana, and the frontier with Sudan. It was eventually absorbed into the province of Begemder.
Emperor Tewodros II was born there, and lived there until his victory at the Battle of Gur Amba (27 September 1852), sometimes as a ''shifta'' or outlaw. The region contains a large Kemant community, some speaking the nearly extinct Kemant language, and formerly contained a substantial number of Beta Israel, who spoke the Qwara language. However, most of its inhabitants have since been assimilated into the dominant Amhara ethnicity, and speak Amharic.
