I have seen that the other day and shocked by the similarities of those two languages.

Professor Haile Larebo, a well known and respected scholar, has written and lectured extensively about the origins of Amharic but I have never heard of him mentioning Aramaic at all. He did mention why Amharic contains a lot of Arabic vocabulary.
There must be some kind of scientific explanation for that.

What about, the closeness of the way Indians and traditional Ethiopians dress? Specially of the highlanders.
Very interesting.

Thank you Selam. Very interesting.
Some of the word similarities between Aramaic and Amharic are mind boggling.
In both languages DEM means blood. They share more words similarities and that tells me Ethiopia as the oldest nation in the world is the origin of many things including languages spoken away from its borders.
Amazing.

My first exposure to Aramaic (ancient syrian language) is when i sow Mel Gibson's film titled "The passion of Christ". There i heard a lot of words that are mutually inteligible with Amharic. For instance, when they beat Jesus, they were telling him "ኩም"/ Ku`m" to order him to standup which is identical to the amharic "ቁም". Aramic is the language Jesus and the then israelites/libanese/syrians spoke. I understood there was some connection from there on albeit ancient.

funny enough, right after our girl got lots of love and admiration on these episode some እኛንም አትርሱን ባዮች pushed their way in to this program and if there is interest, i will post it here :lol: :lol:

One other word that I never forget in passion of Christ is “ይሰቀል!”

What's is this? What are you guys doing? Origin search?

You're Africans. Don't disappoint Meles Zeradwa. Though his genes, language, culture and history has a lot to do with Middleast, no one street in Addis is named Yemen Street, Oman Street, Saudi Street, Syria Street, Lebanon Street.
But many streets he named are Nigeria Street, Ghana Street, Congo Street, Kenya Street, Soujth Africa.
All of these Africans would tell him he is an Arab, not African. Chinua Achebe of Nigeria once said "We lost Sudan and Ethiopia to Arabs."
Melese was wrong. Don't repeat his mistakes. Change the African street names to names of origins of our languages, cultures and genes .

God bless!
