Siltʼe is a zone in the Central Ethiopia Regional State of Ethiopia. This zone is named for the Siltʼe people, whose homeland lies in this zone. Like other nationalities in Ethiopia, the Siltʼe people have their own language, Siltʼe. Siltʼe is bordered on the south by Halaba, on the southwest by Hadiya, on the north by Gurage, and on the east by the Oromia Region.

Following a referendum held between 18 and 26 April 2001, the Siltʼe unanimously voted to form their own Zone, Siltʼe.[1] Later more woredas from Gurage and Hadya zones and Alaba special woreda were added.[citation needed]
