The Amharic Language
- Amharic is natively known as አማርኛ and belongs to the Afro-Asiatic, Semitic, South Semitic language family.
- There are approximately 57 million native speakers worldwide.
- Amharic is the official working language of the Federal Government of Ethiopia, the second-most populous country in Africa.
- It is written in the Ge'ez script, also known as Ethiopic, one of the oldest alphabets still in use, dating back to at least the 5th century BCE.
- The Ge'ez script is an abugida, where each character represents a consonant-vowel combination rather than a single sound.
- Amharic has a complex verb morphology with over 180 possible verb forms for a single root, encoding subject, object, tense, and mood.
- Ethiopia is the only African country that was never colonised, and Amharic reflects this with very few European loanwords in its vocabulary.
- The Ethiopian community in Australia has grown substantially since the 1980s, with many arriving as refugees fleeing conflict and famine. Melbourne hosts the largest Ethiopian community, followed by Sydney and Adelaide, with vibrant cultural festivals and Orthodox churches serving as community hubs.
About Bald Hills
Bald Hills is the northernmost suburb of the Brisbane City Council in Queensland, Australia. Bald Hills is a largely residential suburb. It is mostly surrounded by bushland, but in the last few years some of the bush areas have been cleared to make way for new residential areas. It also borders onto the Bald Hills Flats – a large flood plain on the western side of the suburb that is used for cattle grazing. The South Pine River flows through the flood plain and forms the western border of the suburb. The South Pine River converges with the North Pine River and the combined flow, Pine River, forms the northern border.
Along the banks of Pine River within Bald Hills is a large environmental park called the Tinchi Tamba Wetlands Reserve. The Pine River empties into Bramble Bay, between Redcliffe and Brighton. The most prominent structure is the Bald Hills Radiator, the ABC's 198 metre tall AM radio transmission tower located on the eastern side of the suburb. Bald Hills is the home of the Bald Hills-Lawnton Lions Cricket Club. It is also home to the breeding and training centre for Guide Dogs for the Blind Association of Queensland.
