Note: Ethiopian geographical names are written in many ways. Ethiopian languages like Amhara and Tigrinya do not use our alphabet and therefor those names are written more or less phonetically. For instance Tigray is written like Tegré on the topographical maps, but sometimes also as Tigré or Tigre. It is not clear to me why in most publications Tigray is written with "ay", because English speakers should not pronounce this "ay" as in "grey" (the colour) but as "I" (me). For Dutch speaking people Tigrai should be the most appropriate way of writing.
