Fidel (http://www.abyssiniacybergateway.net/fidel/fidel.html)
" ‘Ethiopic'' is the term most familiar to the western world for the
primary writing system of Eritrea and Ethiopia. Other terms that have been used
for the script in the west have been ‘Abyssinian,' ‘Ethiopian' and ‘Abyssinic‘. In
Eritrea and Ethiopia the writing system is known affectionately as ‘Ge'ez,' ‘Fidel,'
and ‘Fidelat'' and the foreign names may never be heard in ones lifetime.
The terms may be used interchangably here to refer to the extended writing system.
This includes all additional characters added to classic Ge'ez ... for tgrNa,
amarNa, guragiNa and other languages, numbers, punctuation, and musical notes." Includes
links to documents and web sites which provide historical and contemportary studies
about this alphabet system including technical issues such as unicode representation
of the script. |
