Amharic is the official language of Ethiopia β one of Africa's oldest civilizations and one of only two African countries never colonized. Written in the ancient Ge'ez script (Ethiopic alphabet), one of the world's oldest writing systems still in active use, Amharic is a window into a civilization of extraordinary depth and history.

Ethiopian communities are prominently established in Washington D.C., Minneapolis, Stockholm, and other major cities worldwide. The Ethiopian diaspora is one of the most educated and entrepreneurially active African diaspora groups globally.
