Amharic is the official tongue of Ethiopia since the 14th century and is spoken
by millions of people in the country. Amharic employs a modification of the
Ethiopic script. The earliest extant texts in Amharic
go back to the 14th century. Amharic has been considerably influenced in its
grammar and vocabulary by the nearby Cushitic tongues."
