Regions of Ethiopia

Ethiopia is a federation subdivided into ethno-linguistically based regional states (Oromiffa: plural: Naannolee; singular: Naannoo); Amharic: plural: ክልሎች kililoch; singular: ክልል kilil) and chartered cities (plural: astedader akababiwach; singular: astedader akabibi). This system of administrative regions replaced the provinces of Ethiopia in 1992 under the Transitional Government of Ethiopia and was formalised in 1995 when the current Constitution of Ethiopia came into force.
