Amharic is just a dirty bastardized creole of Ge'ez and various Agaw languages. Teaching classical Ge'ez at least has it's benefits in being able to interpret historical documents and the mutual intelligibility with Tigre and Tigrinya. Amharic is becoming more and more obsolete

I just saw that what the hell are cadaan this dumb
