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 Bracken Ridge
Bracken Ridge is a northern suburb of Brisbane, the capital city of Queensland, Australia. Its local government area is the City of Brisbane, in which it has its own ward. The suburb is located about 18 km north of the Brisbane central business district. The southern border is formed by Telegraph Road[disambiguation needed], one of the oldest roads in the suburb, and a portion of the western border is formed by the Caboolture railway line.
A number of housing estates are located within the suburb, including The Oaks, Enbrook Heights and the most recent development Sungate Estate. The terrain in the suburb is, as the name suggests, generally hilly. The highest area of the suburb features a park and a reservoir; from this height it is quite easy to see Moreton Bay to the east and the CBD to the south.
