Such a beautiful language and alphabet! Greetings from Greece

I'm orthodox from Jordan respect Amharic

My great Grandfather worked for the Ethiopian emperor to help improve his airforce after ww2 so we have a bunch of old Ethiopian things like a tiger fur and a spear among other things. My grandfather also lived there till he was a teenager.

Ha! So interesting to see how Amharic is explained in English. I used to study it as a first foreign language at uni (more than ten years ago!), being a Russian myself. The grammar always fascinated me - but you get used to it and don't think too hard about it once it all 'settles' in your head.

I'd never heard of Amharic before. It sounds particularly wonderful, kinda like kayaking through a peaceful river that has rocks here and there

I love Ethiopia. From Sénégal

As an Arab I really like the Amharic language even though I don't understand it but it sound good that's why Ethiopian music one of my favorite 💚

I've been in Ethiopia. Such a beautiful country.

Amharic is such a beautiful language and I love learning that language.

I live outside DC, here exists the largest Ethiopian community outside of Africa. in some towns and parts of DC you can often hear Amharic spoken and you will often see it on shop signs in certain areas.

Every time you upload I'm just so happy about it

This is the quality content that I subscribed for.

I'm an African American man residing in the Washington, DC Area currently being tutored in Amharic by an Ethiopian gentleman who lives in California. Both my tutor and several apps I've downloaded on my I-Phone are teaching me how to speak the Amharic language really well. I sincerely enjoyed your video. You're brilliantly smart and I can tell you probably speak at least 7 or 8 different languages minimum. You're very good at what you do and thank you for sharing your knowledge with the World. The great thing about it is that when you speak multiple languages, the chances of you ever developing Alzheimer's in nearly nonexistent so in your lifetime, that's ONE disease you'll never have to worry about......God bless.

I learned so much about Amharic & I’m a native speaker. This is really well done

As an Ethiopian, i will have to say this is the best video on Amharic i have seen so far. Usually, people are lazy and just use Wikipedia as a source and embarrass themselves withe the garbage they spew. And, Amharic is not very similar to the other Semitic languages. Trust me on this, i listen to a lot of Arabic and Hebrew songs and can't understand a word they are saying. And i speak, write, read Amharic fluently! To answer your question, Amharic is my 2nd language. I spoke another Ethiopian language before Amharic. In Ethiopia outside of the capitol, you can teach your students in their native tongue but after the 8th grade, classes must be in Amharic and English. Every Ethiopian i know speaks Amharic, and i know many Ethiopians. Unless they were born in the diaspora of course. Thanks for the video! :) P.S. Amharic alphabet actually has a lot in common with Armenia Script than the Semitic ones. And that's because of the close Christian ties between Ethiopia and Armenia.

I'm Sudanese and I live in Ethiopia and I can tell you Amharic and Sudanese Arabic dialect have a lot of similarities. I think mainly because the Sudanese dialect was affected by cushitic languages too and there's a lot of cultural exchange going on

Amharic sounds lovely.
