Amharic

Amharic is the official language of Ethiopia. It is written by means of a special set of characters. Each character represents a syllable.

Amharic with TeX

It is possible to write into Amharic with TeX, thanks to the work of Abass Alamnehe, who created Metafont fonts for this language. These fonts are included in AsTeX distribution (modules ethiotfm.zip et ethio_mf.zip of the Complementary Package Num. 2).
