Re: Any Amharic speakers?
Maybe some of the Oromo or Eritrean posters can speak Amharic.
Re: Any Amharic speakers?
Not the new generation Eritrean... you need to get an old Folk who is eritrean to speak amharic, It has been banned In eritrea since liberation so the next few generation can detach from the ethiopian influence. Good Policy today you won't find any Eritrean under the age of 30 who speak amharic. lol Is that mengistu??? we almost smoked his a** In zimbabwe in 1996 but the coward hid behind his body guard.Beenaale_No1 wrote:Maybe some of the Oromo or Eritrean posters can speak Amharic.

Yeah.. we laugh at amharic. Amharic is Agew speakers Mixing Geez. That is why they can't pronounce Half of the Letters in Geez.lol
Tigrigna is Beja speakers with arabic pronounciation.
So,
Amharic= Agew + Geez.
Tigrigna = Tigre/Geez + Beja and saho/afar.
Tigrigna is the only semitic Language with Kustic Grammer. That is what happens when you have a kushtic Speakers Mixing a kushtic and semitic language.
Tigrigna is about 4 times richer Than amharic.
That is why Tigre and Tigrigna Speakers Can pick up alot of somali Words Because alot of saho/afar, Beja and semitic words Make up the vocabulary.
Tigrigna is a more unifying language for all the tribes who moved to the highlands of eritrea for the last 1000-1500 years, Afar saho beja Tigre That is why Both semitic and kushtic Speakers when hearing The langauge sometimes think There is something odd there as it combines Both sounds and use semitic Base with kushtic Grammer. Tigrigna is an offshoot of Tigre However the beja who Created the langauge Changed Their tongue Many times and spoke arabic and were left with the arabic Pronounciation like kha etc. That is why in tigre most of the word has Ka it is pronounced with kha in Tigrigna because of the arabic influence on the beja example In tigre you say "Kefe-le-ka" In tigrigna it's "Kemey-le-kha" Which means How are you . Like Imagine Somali Diaspora Creating a new language English With French the new language would be mixed But you would Feel there is a somali Prints on the new language.

Interesting. I can't tell the difference much. Though Amharic does sound much "softer" than Somali.MidriGeez wrote:arabmtu wrote:Is Amharic radically different from local Eritrean language (Tigrinya?)?MidriGeez wrote:Not the new generation Eritrean... you need to get an old Folk who is eritrean to speak amharic, It has been banned In eritrea since liberation so the next few generation can detach from the ethiopian influence.

Re: Any Amharic speakers?
I don't know about the vocabulary , but when they speak you can clearly detect Tigrinya from amhaarinya .
It has the equivalent of Xa , Ca and Qa in somali , where the amhaarinya speakers can't pronounce these words.
