It is also estimated that more than 2.4 million emigrants from Ethiopia & Eritrea speaks Amharic in the diaspora mainly in North America, Europe & Australia.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">Amharic is one of the Southern Semitic languages spoken in Ethiopia alongside Argoba, Tigrinya, Tigre, Geez, Guragenya, Siltee etc.. which are considered much older than the Northern Semitic languages such as Hebrew & Arabic, according to recent research findings.1 Africanranking.com ranks Amharic as the second most-spoken Semitic language in the world.</span></span></p> <p><img alt="" loading="lazy" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/libapps/accounts/83820/images/Fidel_-_A.jpg" style="float: left; width: 207px; height: 154px;" /></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">Amharic uses a script which originated from the Ge'ez alphabet. It has 33 basic characters with each having 7 forms or variations for each consonant-vowel combination. Unlike the North Semitic languages such as Arabic, Hebrew or Syrian, the language is written from left to right.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">Amharic came to be lingua franca or widely spoken in Ethiopia from 9th century and became instrument of the state language since 14th century. Amharic has a growing body of literature especially since the advent of the 20th century. Christian religion texts dominated the previous centuries. The only texts known which are not religious texts were that of quasi-religious or philosophical treatises of Zara Yaqob and his disciple Wolde Hiywet from 17th century. Since early 19th century, diversified literature genres started to appear. The first chronicles or <em>Gedl</em> written in Amharic was that of Emperor Theodore's (Atse Tewodros) around 1880s. During Menelik II rule <em>Tobya </em>the first novel in Amharic was published in Rome by Afewerq Gabre-Yesus who was educated in Italy. Since then Amhariic is used for publishing government proclamations </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">and records, </span></span><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">educational or religious books as well as in all genres or forms of literature: novels, poetry,</span><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"> drama etc..</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:11px;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">1 Girma A.
