Amharic Language Facts
It is the second most spoken Semitic language in the world, after Arabic, and the official working language of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. Thus, it has official status and is used nationwide. Amharic is also the official or working language of several of the states within the federal system, including the Amhara Region and the multi-ethnic Southern Nations, Nationalities, and People's Region, among others. It has been the working language of government, the military, and of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church throughout modern times.
Writing Amharic
Amharic is written with a version of the Ge'ez (also called Ethiopic) script known as “Fidel”. There is no standard way to transliterating Amharic into the Latin alphabet. Amharic is named after the district of Amhara, which is thought to be the historic center of the language.
HaHu is the popular name of the Amharic alphabet. The name is composed of the first two syllables of the main table of the Amharic alphabet.
