A Cushitic language spoken by the Beja people of northeastern Africa, primarily in Sudan and Eritrea.
Named after the Beja people (also spelled Bedawi or Beja), an ethnic group in the Horn of Africa. The language name derives from the ethnic group's self-designation.
Beja is linguistically isolated within Cushitic languages and has been spoken in the same region for millennia—it's one of Africa's most underresourced languages with fewer than 2 million speakers despite its ancient heritage.
