Agame tplf

There is no tigrigna alphabet. You came from Yemen to work for axumite empire.

Understand this historical fact so you are not confused anymore :lol:

So you moved to Ethiopia 800 years ago!

Geez is father language of Amharic + Mother Bete Amhara dialect not tigrinya.

Geez

1 (፩) አሐዱ (ʾäḥädu)
2 (፪) ክልኤቱ (kəlʾetu)
3 (፫) ሠለስቱ (śälästu)
4 (፬) አርባዕቱ (ʾärbaʿtu)
5 (፭) ኀምስቱ (ḫämsətu)
6 (፮) ስድስቱ (sədsətu)
7 (፯) ሰብዐቱ (säbʿätu)
8 (፰) ሰማንቱ (sämantu)
9 (፱) ተስዐቱ (täsʿätu)
10 (፲) ዐሠርቱ (ʿäśärtu

Amharic

1 (፩) አንዶ (and)
2 (፪) ሁለት (hulätt)
3 (፫) ሶስት (sost)
4 (፬) አራት (aratt)

6 (፮) ስዶዶስት (səddəst)
7 (፯) ሰባት (säbatt)
8 (፰) ስምንት (səmmənt)
9 (፱) ዘጠኝ (zäṭäňň)
10 (፲) አስር (assər)

Look how Tigrinya has different pronunciation of numbers comparing to Geez... Shshshshshsh

Tigrinya
1 ፩ ሓደ (hade)
2 ፪ ክልተ (kelete)
3 ፫ ሰለስተ (seleste)
4 ፬ ኣርባዕተ (arbaete)

We need to understand how the ancient Yemenis sound. There must be a lot of "shshshshsh". And yemens must also be throat scratching when they talk because no other people in Ethiopia speak like like agames

They had to adapt something from axumite empire so that is why the agames sound different

I have no problem with Agames but the idiot ones like halahi. We need to teach them about their history so they are free from Tplf

Halafi Mengedi is correct. Geez is the father and mother of Amharic language. No going around and going above.

Anbeta sadacha

Nobody said it is not. :lol:

Tigrigna is only 800 years old as it was created when you came from Yemen. Amharic alpahbet is 5000 years old. Geez is 6000 years old.

There no tigrigna book ever. Or you will never find an ancient manuscripts written in tigrigna, not even in tigrigna speaking areas.

That is the point. And it is because you came from Yemen as day labourers and were never able to creat alphabet or something that help humanity in general

May be so or not but what is wrong with that? Even ancient Yemen used to be multinational and multilingual. In that Yemeni state the so called Habeshas were not any distinct ethnic groups but vocational groups named Incense collectors. During those days incense trading used to be worlds big business.

Yemenis say Selam not Shalam\Shalom

This ShShSh come from Hebrew\Aramaic who speak northern semetic...

Shabbat---Sebat

Geez is southern semetic arabic yemeni are also southern so we dont say SHHSHSHSHSHSHSHSH

Well that is what we are saying. That is why tigrigna has nothing to do with Geez except it was copied by yemenis when they came to Ethiopia and created tigrigna or modified the Yemeni language

Amaharic and Geez are the ancient languages of Ethiopia that have their own alphabet

Well, the current Yemenis speak Arabic. But they used to speak another language before the Arabs dominated them and forced them to speak Arabic. So the ancient Yemenis must sound like the agames is the point

Halafi Mengedi,

I guess your problem with Gurage is because they are 1) Smart 2) Hardworking 3) Peace making.

Geez is father language of Amharic + Mother Bete Amhara dialect not tigrinya.

Geez

1 (፩) አሐዱ (ʾäḥädu)
2 (፪) ክልኤቱ (kəlʾetu)
3 (፫) ሠለስቱ (śälästu)
4 (፬) አርባዕቱ (ʾärbaʿtu)
5 (፭) ኀምስቱ (ḫämsətu)
6 (፮) ስድስቱ (sədsətu)
7 (፯) ሰብዐቱ (säbʿätu)
8 (፰) ሰማንቱ (sämantu)
9 (፱) ተስዐቱ (täsʿätu)
10 (፲) ዐሠርቱ (ʿäśärtu

Amharic

1 (፩) አንዶ (and)
2 (፪) ሁለት (hulätt)
3 (፫) ሶስት (sost)
4 (፬) አራት (aratt)
5 (፭) አምስት (amməst)
6 (፮) ስዶዶስት (səddəst)
7 (፯) ሰባት (säbatt)
8 (፰) ስምንት (səmmənt)
9 (፱) ዘጠኝ (zäṭäňň)
10 (፲) አስር (assər)

Look how Tigrinya has different pronunciation of numbers comparing to Geez... Shshshshshsh

Tigrinya
1 ፩ ሓደ (hade)
2 ፪ ክልተ (kelete)
3 ፫ ሰለስተ (seleste)
4 ፬ ኣርባዕተ (arbaete)
5 ፭ ሓሙሽት (hamushte)
6 ፮ ሽድሽተ (shudushte)
7 ፯ ሸውዓተ (shewa’ate)
8 ፰ ሸሞንተ (shemonte)
9 ፱ ትሽዓተ (tishe’ate)
10 ፲ ዓሰርተ (‘äserte)
Halafi Mengedi is correct. Geez is the father and mother of Amharic language. No going around and going above.

If Geez is the father
Tigrigna and Tigrayit (a language which is common spoken in western Eritrea and coastal Areas) are the Sons and daughters while amhara is grandchild...

You must be foolish. A language that ranks being the 2nd largest spoken Semitic language came after the language spoken some margin. Amharic is not only the most spoken but the oldest. The question does Amhara fathered Tigrigna and Tigrayit and yet these languages end up infertile, spoken very few people?

You can hardly call Amharic for Semitic language, it is more Cushitic rather than Semitic. Amharic is infant aka a juvenile child in comparison to Tigre and Tigrayit. In regard to the number of people who speak the language. Hebrew which is a semetic language is spoken by less than 6 millions but there are more scientific books which are written in Hebrew than Arabic which is spoken by more than 400 million inhabitants hence, the number of inhabitants who speak the language is not a parameter to measure the advancement of a language.

ይኸ ቋንቋ አባት ነው ያኛው ልጅ ነው የሚለው ጥናት የሌለው ጭፍን ክርክር አስፈላጊ አይደለም። በአንድ ጊዜ ተወልደው በኋላ ከሌላ ቋንቋ ጋር ተለውሰው ቢሆንስ? ለምሳሌ እብራይስጥ፣ አርሜይክና አረብኛ ብዙ የሚወራረስ ነገሮች አሏቸው፣ ግን አንዱ ከአንዱ ተፈጠረ ማለት አይደለም።

You’re the Maferiya. Amharic is a Semitic language. Period!

You can’t call it Semitic & Cushitic at the same time. Tigrigna shares many features with Arabic but that doesn’t necessarily mean it originated from Arabic.
