Amharic has been the official working language of Ethiopia, language of the courts, the language of trade and everyday communications and of the military since the late 12th century. The Amhara nobles supported the Zagwe prince Lalibela in his power struggle against his brothers which led him to make Amharic Lessana Negus as well as fill the Amhara nobles in the top positions of his Kingdom. [13] The appellation of "language of the king" ( Ge'ez: ልሣነ ነጋሲ; "Lisane Negus," Amharic: የኢነጋሲ ቋንቋ "Ye-Negus QwanQwa") and its use in the royal court are otherwise traced to the Amhara Emperor Yekuno Amlak. [14] [15] It is one of the official languages of Ethiopia, together with Oromo, Somali, Afar, and Tigrinya. Amharic is an Afro-Asiatic language of the Southwest Semitic group and is related to Geʽez, or Ethiopic, the liturgical language of the Ethiopian Orthodox church; Amharic is written in a slightly modified form of the alphabet used for writing the Geʽez language. There are 34 basic characters, each of which has seven forms depending on which vowel is to be pronounced in the syllable. There are also 49 "wa" letters, which form compound sounds involving "w." All together, the alphabet has some 280 letters. Until 2020 Amharic was the sole official language of Ethiopia. [16] [17] [3] [18] [19] The 2007 census reported that Amharic was spoken by 21.6 million native speakers in Ethiopia. [20] More recent sources state the number of first-language speakers in 2018 as nearly 32 million, with another 25 million second-language speakers in Ethiopia. [1] Additionally, 3 million emigrants outside of Ethiopia speak the language. [ citation needed] Most of the Ethiopian Jewish communities in Ethiopia and Israel speak Amharic. [21] [ citation needed] [22] Furthermore, Amharic is considered a holy language by the Rastafari religion and is widely used among its followers worldwide.

Ignazio Guidi, Supplemento al Vocabolario Amarico-Italiano, (compilato con il concorso di Francesco Gallina ed Enrico Cerulli), 1940, Roma, Istituto per l'Oriente Amharic is written left-to-right using a system that grew out of the Geʽez script. [11] The segmental writing system in which consonant-vowel sequences are written as units is called an abugida ( አቡጊዳ). [12] The graphemes are called fidäl ( ፊደል), which means "script", "alphabet", "letter", or "character".There is no universally agreed-upon Romanization of Amharic into Latin script. The Amharic examples in the sections below use one system that is common among linguists specialising in Ethiopian Semitic languages. Like English, Amharic makes a two-way distinction between near ('this, these') and far ('that, those') demonstrative expressions (pronouns, adjectives, adverbs). Besides number, Amharic – unlike English – also distinguishes between the masculine and the feminine genders in the singular. Hetzron, Robert (1972). Ethiopian Semitic: Studies in Classification. Manchester University Press. p.124. ISBN 9780719011238. Amharic has a further set of morphemes that are suffixed to nouns, signalling possession: ቤት bet 'house', ቤቴ bete, my house, ቤቷ; betwa, her house.
