Some fun facts:

There are over 80 different languages spoken in Ethiopia. The most widely spoken of these are Oromo and Amharic. Luckily for foreign travellers, English and Arabic are also widely spoken because foreign travellers do not know all these 80 languages.

Ethiopian children must learn both their tribal language and the country’s official language of Amharic. They must also have a good grasp of English due to visitors ,by the time they start secondary school. From the age of 12 onwards, all school lessons are carried out in English.

Ethiopia is the only country in Africa with its own alphabet. Actually it uses an abugida, also known as an alpha-syllabary, which consists of 209 symbols and 25 letter variants it is really tough to learn for us as well.

The oldest fossil skeleton of a human was discovered in Ethiopia. So too was coffee, making Ethiopia the home of mankind and mankind’s favourite wake-up drink.

Parents are stricter with their daughters than their sons; often parents give more freedom to males than females. The Ethiopian traditional costume is made of woven cotton. Ethiopian men and women wear this traditional costume called gabb. For most of the people the person in picture look wierd but it is the popular fashion of ethiopians. Other tribes in the south and west of the countries wear leather costume but other do not wear clothes at all.
