I was born in Ethiopia and immigrated to Israel. The young generation here doesn't speak Amharic but some are. I speak Amharic with my parents, grand parents, aunts and uncles but with my Ethiopian friends we speak Hebrew.

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

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.

the grammar is easy to learn for an Arabic speaker, I am not surprised because whenever I read arabic history books there is always mention of Abyssinia. its like if Arabs and Ethiopians shared their own tiny world with so much trade, migration, invasion and all kinds of interactions. long live our brotherhood!

1. I was born and lived a total of 12 years in Ethiopia. I've lived my whole life in Addis Ababa (the capital city) and anyone who lives there speaks Amharic or at least understands it. Everyone that I personal know that is from the city speaks fluent amharic even if it isn't their first language. as you have mentioned in your video there are another 81 or more native languages so it's honestly impressive most have managed to fluently speak it.

2. Amharic is my 1st language

3. I am currently in the states where i am doing my studies in a university. There is a fantastic habesha club that does a great job at connecting Ethiopians and Eritreans. I speak to my habesha friends in Amharic and some tigrenya but when around our foreign friends we talk in english just for the obvious fact that it's rude. I actually didn't speak tigrenya when I was in Ethiopia but my amazing Eri friends have taught me well. Now i am able to understand fully but struggle a bit with speaking. I will get better one of these days, I really love the language. Even when i find random Ethiopians in the streets or a mall, we communicate in our language. language is an identity, we must never forget!

so far i am really impressed with your knowledge in my language. You dug in so deep and just made it so much understandable for foreigners. guy does his research well! Because Amharic and Arabic are Semitic languages, it is very easy for us to learn Arabic and hebrew. I lived in Egypt for 6 years and I knew how to fluently speak arabic in 2 years. Because we have a great amount of words in common, it was a piece of cake for me!

Do keep up the great research! I recommend your videos to everyone. loved it

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

As a hebrew speaker, it's really hard to notice the similarities when I listen to Amharic speakers. However, It's easier to see the similarities when you put similar words of both languages next to each other. I can also say that sometimes it's easier to hear similarities when I listen to Arabic speakers, even though I won't be able to understand almost any of it.

The Amharic "älla" is almost the same in pronunciation as the Berber (Kabyle) "illa" which means "there is" in both languages.

Besides this, the two languages share many features as I noticed

I'm an Arabic speaker, and when I hear someone speaking Amharic from a distance; i can't distinguish if she/he is speaking a dialect of Arabic because it sounds so similar to Arabic from a distance. but when I come close I understand nothing. I think, this's because Amharic language has all those sounds that I used to think or considered them unique to Arabic, (seems they aren't).
This situation keeps happening so frequently that when I hear an Ethiopian women who works with us & she speaks Arabic as well; so, I keep mixing every time I hear her talking on the phone from a distance, i thought she speaks with her family somehow in Arabic.
