Ethiopic languages and the status of Amharic

Posted on April 25, 2015 by jewamongyou

Ethiopia contains upwards of 80 distinct ethnic groups, and just about every one of them has its own language. For a traveler who is language-conscious, such as myself, this can be bewildering. At the same time, it’s refreshing; the Ethiopian … Continue reading →
