Is Amharic a Cushitic language.

[--Ajakis Lax Max--]

I read somewhere it is about 70% agaw. listening to surrounding languages, the similarity is clearer compared to Arabic and Hebrew.

What do you mean by grammar? The verb conjugations are similar to other Semitic languages and roots are also present in the language.

70% agew is too high but there is a lot of oromo and agew loanwords thanks to centuries of close contacts with both ethnic groups. With the former basically assimilated by the Amhara.

Amharic does have a lot of Agew loan words but it is definitely not that high

Agew languages and Beja are substratum languages for Ethio-Semitic languages. Like how Coptic/Egyptian is substratum of Egyptian Arabic, Berber/tamazigh is substratum of maghrebi arabic, Gaulish/Celtic is a substratum for Latin to form french etc.
