Between 60-70 million people speak the Amharic as their first language. Yes, ‘it’s the oldest continuously spoken Semitic language predating Arabic and Hebrew, 33 characters each having 7 variations based on vowel sounds.’ Very succinct description.
@@samuelbelay7251 you are missing the point!!! It is not about how it is educated or how literally developed. It is about how historically old and influential during the time of pharaohs!!! Amharic is for sure spoken widely in Ethiopia but it is because at the cost of the other languages like Tigrigna which was deprived. The Ethiopian feudals snd the rest dictators of Ethiopia deprived us to learn our beautiful languages. Amharic was an oppressing language that is why it is dominant now in Ethiopia!!!
@@asebawi Well I’m Amhara & I have Royal blood in me & your right we made a lot of mistakes here & there & I think everybody makes a mistake but at Least we created Ethiopia 🇪🇹 And when the scramble for Africa started & when every king & queens we’re selling there people & land We Defended our Motherland with Blood & sweat. We kept Ethiopia 🇪🇹 free from any conquering imperialist Weather it’s Ottoman Empire, the British Empire or the Fascist Italian Empire or any other who dared to try us. You should at least be grateful for that. Instead of hating us constantly with blind hatred. You know we weren’t always like this it’s that JUNTA TPLF that spewed all this Haterd amongst us backed by the western countries. They couldn’t defeat us in a war so they decided to divide us within & TPLF was there perfect instrument! It’s sad but it is what it is. But we are back now Abiy is ours he’s implementing our agenda & goal & that’s to make ETHIOPIA GREAT that’s all that matters. Oh I almost forgot the most important thing I AM so proud to be AMHARA & ETHIOPIAN! I’m so Proud of my Bloodline.
@@Modagne23 I don’t have any animosity towards AmHara people on contrary I love ‘em. My point is about the languages nothing else, reality is not what we have learned in the Ethiopian schools. “AmHars” were once tigrigna speaking people but not the “Amharas”. Amharic is now a diverse language, the whole Ethiopia and Eritrea speaks the language. But “amHaras “ are as Habesha as tigrigna speakers!! It is not scientifically proven but tigrigna might be the language of the ancient Egyptians, the pharaohs!!!!
32 million are Amharas whose ethnic language is Amharic, another 30 million who are urban populations speak it as first language, another about 30 million speak it as second language.
Thank you for honoring Ethiopia's incredible language. Regrettably, in this scenario, it is disheartening that the language is not receiving the respect it deserves in Ethiopia.
@@abrehamishI dont think hes refering to the respect youre understanding, he meant recognition. Though there are more than 80 languages in the country, amharic serves as a unifying means of communication. Even when you go somewhere isolated in Ethiopia youd find someone who knows amharic to speak to.
The people you portrayed in this video aren’t…. Even the traditional cloth or dancing is not Ethiopian. Though your introduction of Amharic (ancient) language historically is correct and explanation is appreciable and great. Thanks for your insight to remind the historical Amharigna/Amharic languages which taught in many other countries, Russia, Egypt, Greek universities.
A quick fact chack here, Before the Amharic language, Ge'ez is the oldest language in Ethiopia.........in fact that language (Ge'ez) is the one believed to predate many of afro Asiatic languages in East africa and south Arabia. Amharic is the youngest, Especially when compared to Ge'ez. The world should learn Amharic and Geez they and some other language are the key to unlock the secrets in ancient Ethiopian Books. Ethiopia is full of amazing culture and languages! Leading Ethiopian languages would be valuable for the world!
The world should learn and speak amharic, it is simple to speak and to write. All people in Ethiopia speak Amharic more over people from Djibouti, sudan, kenya and somalia speak the language as well. Many ancient scientific, biblical and astronomical things are written with this language in Ethiopia, so The world should learn Amharic and GEEZ languages.
Wonderful 😍 ! Thank you so much for introducing and teaching the world of our wonderful ancient Amharic language and our beloved ancient proud Godly Ethiopia 🇪🇹 to the world!!!
Thanks, sir. The globe with better technology and resources should study well, and share the wisdom within the Amharic language. There is a lot to explore in Amharic and Geez scriptures. Thanks agian for your effort.
yeah the guy in the beginning his shirt said Uganda lol and some others look like South Africans or West africans - there are plenty of Ethiopian vids/images out there not sure why they'd choose non-Ethiopians except for a few images??? no other African countries speak Amharic outside of Ethiopia
Amharic language is Ethiopia's official language. It traces its roots from the Aksumite Empire, symbolizing historical significance and cultural heritage. Serving as a lingua franca, it bridges diverse ethnic groups, fostering harmony and communication across the nation.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXPLORATION AND INTRODUCTION - Amharic is not only the Ethiopian national language, rich in unique literature and in the HUMANITIES (including the EOC and philosophy) but also the African heritage and symbolic pride as well. Strangely enough, though, some creepy and disgruntled (minority-based politicians -the powers-to-be of the day) after the fall of the monarchy are trying to vitiate its aura and status by referring to it as mere functional "lingua franca" in government jobs or even to replace it with fabricated pidgins rather than keeping it as the NATIONAL LANGUAGE of Ethiopia. Such forces are bent on disparagement of national unity and dismembering the territorial integrity of the country, incubating endless civil strife and disorder - that in view, they are doing everything they can to vandalize and destroy historical relics and cultural heritages, in the hope of rewriting history from the void! The current constitution, for example, bluntly declares that Ethiopia has no national language!! The Oromo renegades even ventured to introduce European alphabets to write in their language, (like the other nations of Africa which have lost their heritages and have been languishing under European colonialism), instead of using traditional/indigenous characters of their own as kept intact with rugged independence - the national language.
As I am living in UK I realise that no difficulty to speak Amharic over the phone,is not easy to tell someone your name over the phone in English you have to specify which word do you want to say
What I amazed from Amharic is stating a sentence from a single letter. ና Na which mean come her. Here for the Amharic it used a single letter but for the English it took 8 character.
In previous studies Amharic dialects have been classified into five namely Gojjam, Gondar, Wollo, North Showa and Addis Ababa. The current study does not support such classification. Without any geographical barrier or distance, there would be great phonological, morphological and lexical variations. The case of Debark and Dembiya is an example for such incident. For example, substituting /kʼ/ by [tʃʼ] which is discussed as a feature of the whole Gojjam area does not cover even the whole east Gojjam. Although it is widely used in Sinan, Degasegnin and part of Bibugn areas, it rarely occurs in Debre Marikos area. Furthermore, it is absent in nearby districts like Debrework, Bichena, Mertolemariam, Mota and Innesesar midir. Areas like Amanuel, Denbecha and Feresbet of Gojjam, Debark and its neighboring areas of Gondar and some areas of south Wollo, despite the geographical barriers and inaccessible distance, mostly speak similar varieties. Similarly, most features that are found in Debark and Dabat areas of North Gondar are not found in other areas of North Gondar such as Koladiba and Alefatakusa. Varieties used in Southern Gondar are mostly similar to those used in north Wollo than those used in north Gondar. Similarly, varieties used in west of South Wollo especially Amhara Saint area are much similar to those used in North Shewa than those used in the areas of eastern South Wollo. Furthermore, except for the people who live in Dembecha and Feresbet, the West Gojjam dialect is similar to the Addis Ababa dialect. Also, the features which are typically known as Gojjam dialect in previous studies are found in Eastern Gojjam. In North Gondar, Debark, Dabat and Wogera have different phonological features from Koladiba, Alafatakusa, Chilga and Armachoho. Based on the current data, it is reasonable to group South Gondar with North Wollo, South Wollo with North Shewa. North Gondar shall be considered as a separate dialect. The Addis Ababa dialect, i.e. the standard dialect, which may comprise the varieties spoken in various cities throughout the country should be considered as a distinct dialect. East Gojjam and the varieties spoken in Dembecha and Feresbet can be categorized as a single but separate dialect from the others. The latter two are located in West Gojjam. With the exception of those two locations, the variety spoken in West Gojjam is mostly similar to the Addis Ababa one previous studies, Amharic dialects have been classified into five namely, Gojjam, Gondar, Wollo, North Showa and Addis Ababa.

Thank you for trying to reach Amharic language. Need some correction, in amharic '' we don't say nech'', instead we say nat. example...esua memihrt nat
Thank you so much 🙏 Amharic is my 2nd language I use it a lot and always proud of the Amhara people who came to my nation bare foot and taught our ancestors their beautiful language and gave us their fidel. I knew it was so ancient 5000 years according to my grand father.But the girl's pronounces it wrong specially on the last word
Amharic was initially developed as a language primarily for military communication or as a form of military code. It was later adopted as the official language after being introduced into the palace during that time. However, afan oromo is the third largest language in africa 🌍. It is spoken by over 60 million people, including Uganda, Tanzania,Kenya, and more neighbour countries in africa.
@@Modagne23 Amharic & Ge'aze are not the same, Ge'aze is the parent of Ethiopia languages and beliefs you can check the oldest Ethiopia Bible written in Ge'aze alfabets, & words.
There is also a mistake at 9:37 at the "I" cuz its supposed to be "አልናገርም" and not "አላናገርኩም", cuz that would mean "i didnt talk", i found another mistake at the "we" to, "አንናገረንም" this would doesnt even exist, but if we look at the Clue's it would mean " i wont talk us" (no i didnt misspell anything, i purposely wrote it that way) soooooo yeah 👍, pleas correct it or write a comment about ur errors ❤

Amharic has* only been around 1000 years and derived from Ge'ez. It's also important to note that Amharic has changed over the centuries.
Amharic language is Ethiopia's official language.
It traces its roots from the Aksumite Empire,
symbolizing historical significance and cultural heritage.
Serving as a lingua franca, it bridges diverse ethnic groups,
fostering harmony and communication across the nation.

In previous studies Amharic dialects have been classified into five namely Gojjam, Gondar, Wollo, North Showa and Addis Ababa. The current study does not support such classification. Without any geographical barrier or distance, there would be great phonological, morphological and lexical variations. The case of Debark and Dembiya is an example for such incident. For example, substituting /kʼ/ by [tʃʼ] which is discussed as a feature of the whole Gojjam area does not cover even the whole east Gojjam. Although it is widely used in Sinan, Degasegnin and part of Bibugn areas, it rarely occurs in Debre Marikos area. Furthermore, it is absent in nearby districts like Debrework, Bichena, Mertolemariam, Mota and Innesesar midir. Areas like Amanuel, Denbecha and Feresbet of Gojjam, Debark and its neighboring areas of Gondar and some areas of south Wollo, despite the geographical barriers and inaccessible distance, mostly speak similar varieties. Similarly, most features that are found in Debark and Dabat areas of North Gondar are not found in other areas of North Gondar such as Koladiba and Alefatakusa. Varieties used in Southern Gondar are mostly similar to those used in north Wollo than those used in north Gondar. Similarly, varieties used in west of South Wollo especially Amhara Saint area are much similar to those used in North Shewa than those used in the areas of eastern South Wollo. Furthermore, except for the people who live in Dembecha and Feresbet, the West Gojjam dialect is similar to the Addis Ababa dialect. Also, the features which are typically known as Gojjam dialect in previous studies are found in Eastern Gojjam. In North Gondar, Debark, Dabat and Wogera have different phonological features from Koladiba, Alafatakusa, Chilga and Armachoho. Based on the current data, it is reasonable to group South Gondar with North Wollo, South Wollo with North Shewa. North Gondar shall be considered as a separate dialect. The Addis Ababa dialect, i.e. the standard dialect, which may comprise the varieties spoken in various cities throughout the country should be considered as a distinct dialect. East Gojjam and the varieties spoken in Dembecha and Feresbet can be categorized as a single but separate dialect from the others. The latter two are located in West Gojjam.

Furthermore, except for the people who live in Dembecha and Feresbet, the West Gojjam dialect is similar to the Addis Ababa dialect. Also, the features which are typically known as Gojjam dialect in previous studies are found in Eastern Gojjam. In North Gondar, Debark, Dabat and Wogera have different phonological features from Koladiba, Alafatakusa, Chilga and Armachoho. Based on the current data, it is reasonable to group South Gondar with North Wollo, South Wollo with North Shewa. North Gondar shall be considered as a separate dialect. The Addis Ababa dialect, i.e. the standard dialect, which may comprise the varieties spoken in various cities throughout the country should be considered as a distinct dialect. East Gojjam and the varieties spoken in Dembecha and Feresbet can be categorized as a single but separate dialect from the others. The latter two are located in West Gojjam. With the exception of those two locations, the variety spoken in West Gojjam is mostly similar to the Addis Ababa one.

Thank you for trying to reach Amharic language. Need some correction, in amharic '' we don't say nech'', instead we say nat. example...esua memihrt nat
....NAT .. ATISASAT ..NAT..YIBALALE
@@deribegurmu7458 you can say nat...but don't say nech in native Amharic. Look again my comment!
Both are correct.

Thanks for your support 🙏

Thank you...
Amharic was initially developed as a language primarily for military communication or as a form of military code. It was later adopted as the official language after being introduced into the palace during that time. However, afan oromo is the third largest language in africa 🌍. It is spoken by over 60 million people, including Uganda, Tanzania,Kenya, and more neighbour countries in africa.
That's why we say Oromo came from the south and you dont believe it still
Go back MADAGASCAR, we don't need GALLA language
A military language code? who said that?
A single Amharic word can also have 5 - 6 meanings when said in different tones! Like “እሽ”/ishī!!
How interesting! Can you tell me what the 6 meanings of እሺ are? Thank you!! 😊
Amaharic is beautiful language
Yes thats true👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
God bless you

The ancient language of Ethiopia is Ge'aze, Amharic & Tigrinya languages introduced from Ge'aze.
Isn’t Amharic & Ge’aze the same? I always thought Ge’aze is the strong form of Amharic. 🤔
@@Modagne23 no they are not but the alphabet is also called Geez...
@@Modagne23 Amharic & Ge'aze are not the same, Ge'aze is the parent of Ethiopia languages and beliefs you can check the oldest Ethiopia Bible written in Ge'aze alfabets, & words.
@@mekonnenkebede380 I see.
There is also a mistake at 9:37 at the "I" cuz its supposed to be "አልናገርም" and not "አላናገርኩም", cuz that would mean "i didnt talk", i found another mistake at the "we" to, "አንናገረንም" this would doesnt even exist, but if we look at the Clue's it would mean " i wont talk us" (no i didnt misspell anything, i purposely wrote it that way) soooooo yeah 👍, pleas correct it or write a comment about ur errors ❤
great video but would be nicer without the music
Correction AMHARIC is spoken by over 65million people as their first language. ❤
If you are scientist of languages you have to do research about each letter and its sound.a letter which have single sound is only amharic letters .
