Tigray are like Somaliland and Tigrinya are like proper Somali

For years i have opposed to believe that the Tigrayans are as original as the Tigrinyans of Eritrea. I was just thinking the other day a smart eritrean fellow by the name siren once said the following. He said the Tigrayans are weird Chinese product trying to be the original he then said that the Tigrayans call themselves after their own region which is Tigray they are called after the province. Yet the Tigrinyans the original people of Eritrea are referred after their Language.
Like any other ethnic group. For example the Saho people speak Saho the Danish people speak Danish the Somali people speak Somali the French people speak French the Turkish people speak Turkish the kurdish people speak Kurdish and so on and so on.
The wolof people speak wolof and so and so on and this clear distinction to clarify the whole situation. Like wise Somaliland which is the break away republic called it self after their territory land or province the same as the Tigrayans.
Where as the rest of the Somalis are just Somalis , how ever to their aid they havent denied their Somali identity as for now though they dont call the original people Somali ,to be Somaliland which is absurd.
Thats the only difference but the tigrayans claim the tigrinyans and say the Tigirnyans come from Tigray which is absurd this is just a claim by them no evidence for that But in essence most Somalis or the main Somali patriarchs are from Somaliland ,but frankly the people of Somaliland reject this because they claim to be or aspire to be a distinct people when they are not because all Somalis are from Somaliland originally thats the only difference indeed.
