Aside from the jokes. It's crazy how similar Arabic and Amharic sound. It's not surprising since both languages are Semitic and Ethio-Semitic language originated in southern Arabia.
correction* ethio-Semitic started with ge'ez, which has origins to highlands of Ethiopia.

Ummm, no. Northern Ethiopian highlands used to be dominated by the Agew people until the migration of ancient Sabaeans which mixed with the local population and it seems the Sabaean culture and linguistic influence was more powerful. The Ethio-Semitic language originated from southern Arabia, no one can dispute that.
Ge'ez is the common language root of the different Ethio-Semitic languages we have today.
im disappointed in yr knowledge bro. ge'ez was spoken in ancient egypt before it even reached yemen. ge'ez is the language Moses spoke to god in ancient egypt. Arabic isnt older than geez at all.
Ge'ez is a South Semitic language and it developed in Eritrea after the migration of ancient Sabaeans.
Where are you getting this info from?
please go read books of the famous Herodotus. 2nd tell me who were the Sabaeans?
@Factz, I ain't expert on this field but modern DNA research seem to support the view of @tesfey67n We have nothing to do with Arabs. Modern DNA research confirms that our non-African DNA is closer to Levant (Egyptian, Israeli or Syrian) than southern Arabia.
"The non-African component was found to be more similar to populations inhabiting the Levant rather than the Arabian Peninsula"

I'm sorry but Queen Shabe came from Yemen. She was the Queen of Sheba Kingdom which was an ancient Yemeni civilization. It has nothing to do with Ethiopia. Check out the ancient Sheba civilization in Yemen. Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheba
As for genetics. It's been confirmed that the Abyssinians ancestors came from southern Arabia, I know that might hurt but hey it's the truth.
Here is the publish of the Abyssinian DNA: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp/2011/01/the-genetic-affinities-of-ethiopians/
The ancient Damot Kingdom in northern Eritrea was dominated by Cushitic highlanders until they intermarried with the migration of ancient Sabaeans.
Here is the ancient stone slabs with Sabaean inscriptions found at Yeha, Ethiopia. By the way, Yeha was the capital of Damot I believe.
please dont confuse people with yr ignorance. You used wiki SMH. Tell me what tribe was queen of sheeba from?

I showed you a Sheba civilization located in Yemen for Wiki but for genetics was not Wiki but a science research. I've also shown you pictures of ancient stone slabs with Sabaean inscriptions found at Yeha (Capital of Damot). What more do you need for me to prove to you?
