Amharic, a Semitic language related to Arabic, Hebrew, and Tigrinya, is predominantly spoken in Ethiopia and parts of Eritrea. As one of the official working languages of Ethiopia, Amharic serves critical functions in commerce, government, media, and national education. The language is written in the Ge’ez script, which reads from left to right. For many, Amharic is either a first language (L1) or a second language (L2). Additionally, it holds a significant place as a holy language in the Rastafari religion and is widely used in both music and religious contexts. This multifaceted role underscores its cultural and spiritual importance within and beyond its native regions.
