    The Ethiopian Script

    The Ethiopian Script, mostly know as by the name "Ethiopic" or some used to call it "Geez" or "Feedel , is one of the oldest Scripts of the World. The Script is a phoneme - a consonant and vowel fuse together. The are about 430 phonemes in the Ethiopian Script. The writing system is left to write.

    History and Development of the Ethiopian Script

    Encoding the Ethiopian Script

    To apply the Script to computer technology, currently we need to encode it to Latin Script. The Transliteration and Transcription of the Ethiopian Script into the corresponding Latin Script varies significantly. One satisfactory effort done, and wide used is the System for Ethiopic Representaion in ASCII (SERA)
