no, I have nothing to read in amharic, as it is all written in the ge'ez amharic script,
[from cantankerous signature] which is different entirely then the latin script, and ethiopians do not publish many things transliterated... only a few church things. I am trying to learn this language because I am surrounded by this culture, and am an active participant rather then spectator, and so it is most appropriate that I learn the language, the way all the Ethiopians I know learned to speak english to talk to me.
