What is the Amharic Alphabet?

The Amharic Alphabet or Amharic Fidel has 33 consonants with seven variations, each composed of an additional vowel. If we take the first character that is “h”, to complete the set, we can add ä, u, i, a, e, ï and o after that. To make a full alphabet, the same vowels may add to the rest of the consonants.

What is the Amharic Language?

The Amharic Language (Amarəña) is a semantic language that is spoken in Ethiopia. Although there are many dialects (including Amharic, Tigrinya, Oromiffa/Affan Oromo, etc.) spoken in Ethiopia, Amharic is the most common and widely used. Since it is the Ethiopian government’s working language, it has acquired official status and is used throughout the region.

The Amharic language, also known as Amarinya or Kuchumba, was also spelled Amharinya and Amarigna, one of Ethiopia’s two primary languages (along with the Oromo language). It is spoken mainly in the country’s central highlands. Amharic is the Southwest Semitic group’s Afro-Asian language and is related to the Ethiopian Orthodox church’s liturgical language, Geez, or Ethiopic; it is also related to Tigre, Tigrinya, and the South Arabic dialects.

While songs and poems from the 14th century CE are the oldest existing records in Amharic, substantial literature in any quantity did not begin until the 19th century.

In a slightly changed version of the alphabet used for writing the language of Geez, Amharic is written. There are 33 primary characters, each of which, depending on the vowel in the syllable should be pronounced, has seven forms. The Cushitic languages, especially the Oromo and the Agaw languages, have strongly affected Amharic. The Amharic dialects are not strongly distinct from one another. In the early 21st century, some 18.7 million individuals spoke Amharic.
