THE ETHIOPIAN

WHY LEARN AMHARIC?

WORLD
The Amharic (Amro Amarigna) script is
the only pure literature of the African in Africa.
FEDERATION,
As a matter of fact, it is one of the main evidences
to support the claim that ETHIOPIA has been the
INCORPORATED
fountain of civilization in Africa. There is no rea-
son why the ETHIOPIAN language can not be
taught to every Black person in the world for a
wealth of historical material of Black man is
found only in this language.
The Amharic alphabet (Feedel fDl) has,
so far, been used only in ETHIOPIA; but there are
many languages within ETHIOPIA that use the
alphabet. The origin of the Feedel fDl, how-
ever, still remains obscure and requires further
research. Gi’iz g[z, one of the Ancient languages
that uses the Feedel fDl, is now classically anti-
quated, and other ETHIOPIAN languages that had
previously not used the Feedel fDl are now us-
ing it. The Feedel fDl itself has changed only
slightly, just enough to accommodate the addi-
tional sounds for the different languages. The
ETHIOPIAN alphabet (Feedel fDl) has been THE VOICE OF ETHIOPIA
able to do this because of the simplicity of its na- OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE
ture; it is a phonetic alphabet. ETHIOPIAN WORLD FEDERATION, INC.
We have in the Amharic alphabet (Feedel FORWARD TO AFRICA
fDl) every conceivable sound in any language.
Therefore, the persons who have learned how to “IT IS BETTER TO LIVE FREE
pronounce the Amharic letters will have acquired THAN DIE IN SLAVERY”
a power in the lingual and labial production of A PAPER FOR THE VAST UNIVERSAL
words in any language, thus making it easy for the BLACK COMMONWEALTH
process of learning other languages. AND FRIENDS OF ETHIOPIA

should try to learn to write and recognize these
