Hati13:This means there are hundreds of characters to memorize |
Re: Ethiopia Alphabet And Numerals by Nobody: 1:49pm On Dec 09, 2017 |
imhotep:Yeah The must are 231 characters, but there are also other characters that were incorporated through time. |
Re: Ethiopia Alphabet And Numerals by Nobody: 1:50pm On Dec 09, 2017 |
Hati13:I see. Unlike English where you just memorize 26 alphabets. Its good memory work though, to memorize 231 characters. |
Re: Ethiopia Alphabet And Numerals by Nobody: 2:15pm On Dec 09, 2017 |
imhotep:Yeah Each orders are similar and easy to memorize if you give it a try. By the way, the Armenia alphabet was driven from this alphabet. |

Hati13:Armenians are related to Ethiopians ? ? |
Re: Ethiopia Alphabet And Numerals by Nobody: 2:31pm On Dec 09, 2017 |
imhotep:Armenia language is Semitic and some Ethiopian languages like Amharic, Tigrinya, Gurage and Harari are also Semitic. But in terms of the 2 population, not that much. Armenia is the 1st state in the world to accept Christianity (in 310s AD) while Ethiopia is the 2nd (in 320s AD). Our orthodox Christianity is very similar. It was when some Ethiopian Christians went to Armenia with some texts in Geez alphabet that the Armenias develop their own alphabet by reforming the Geez alphabet to their language accommodation. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: Ethiopia Alphabet And Numerals by Nobody: 3:48pm On Dec 09, 2017 |
imhotep:Being from Africa largest economy isn't crazy. |
Re: Ethiopia Alphabet And Numerals by Nobody: 3:52pm On Dec 09, 2017 |
Hati13:LoL...honestly I am looking for a place to travel to this Christmas, away from Nigeria a bit LoL |
Re: Ethiopia Alphabet And Numerals by Nobody: 1:20am On Dec 10, 2017 |
imhotep:If you want to spend it in an African country, then you should come to Ethiopia. Our Christmas is in Tahsas 29 (January 7) because Orthodox Christianity says so. So you can even spend your Christmas in Nigeria or other country and can come to Ethiopian Christians later. There is a pilgrimage to Lalibela churches during Christmas here and it's very interesting. The churches are UNESCO heritage site and some scholars even call it the 8 wonder of the world. By the way, Ethiopia has 10 UNESCO heritage sites (more number than any other African country).
