The Chara also known as the Tsara are a people group of Ethiopia. They form a part of the Gimira peoples of Ethiopia and live in the Kaffa Highlands,[1] and the Debub Omo area.
Their three main villages are Geba a meša, Buna Anta, and Kumba, Ethiopia and they practise subsistence farming and hold to a syncretic religion of Oriental Orthodox Christianity with tribal practices.[2]
The Chara people speak their own Chara language a member of the Omotic Language group,[3][4] which is linguistically similar to Mela[5] and the numerically much larger Wolaytta[6][7] both of which many Chara also speak.[8] (See Ethiopian language map).
The number of Chara have been decimated due to slavery and war and are estimated to number between 16,500 and 6,984 (1994 census)[9] people.
