The Hedareb people include the Beni-Amer people who have retained the use of the Beja language, the To-Bedawi (Hedareb). They also include the subtribes: Hashish, Labat, and Halenqua. The Hedareb people are predominately Sunni Muslims.

Most Hedareb speakers speak at least one other language, typically Arabic or Tigre.[1]

They are also one of the nine linguistically defined sub-nationalities of Eritrea.
