   Extractions: Ethiopia There are almost as many languages as there are peoples in Ethiopia, about 80 in all. The languages come from a variety of families - Semitic, Hamitic, Nilotic and Omotic. Amharic, spoken in the country's heartland, is Ethiopia's official language, but Tigrinya, spoken in the north, and Orominya, spoken in the south, have semi-official status. The Oromos are the largest ethnic group in the country, and are made up of a muddle of Christians, Muslims and traditional animists. Amharic and Tigrinya use the Ge'ez script, with an understated 231 letters - keep an eye out for fabulously complex Amharic typewriters. Kids are taught English from junior high onward, and many people can speak a smattering or more. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church has dominated religious life in the country since the fourth century, when two brothers from Tyre began evangelizing with the blessing of the king. The church is part of the Coptic Church, which has its headquarters in Alexandria. Ethiopian Orthodoxy has a strong monastic tradition, and until the Marxist revolution, there were Orthodox clergy in almost every town in the country. Orthodoxy combines more standard Christian beliefs in God, Catholic saints and Jesus (although there is more emphasis on the Old Testament than in many western churches) with traditional African beliefs about spirits and devils - church services often include dancing, astrology and fortune telling. Believers fast every Wednesday and Friday, avoiding meat, dairy and sometimes fish.

   Extractions: Mirabilis.ca home page about this blog contact October 24, 2002 Traditional Ethiopian artistic rules require that good persons be shown in full face (two eyes visible) while evil people are to be shown in profile, with one eye visible. Another major characteristic is that the paintings show no perspective. The usual technique is to sketch in charcoal, outline the picture in black ink, and then fill in with different colors. That's from the Ethiopian Painting page on the Cultural and Religious Traditions in Ethiopia website. That website's a treasure trove. It's got sections on Ethiopian Manuscripts, Ethiopian processional crosses, The Queen of Sheba, missionaries in Ethiopia, and a few other topics as well. Peek at the Dawit Psalter, or go look at the Sistrum, a rattle used in the Orthodox liturgy. Oh, and remember I mentioned Assefa's coptic crosses in yesterday's entry? Here are some similar cross pendants. Posted on October 24, 2002 09:12 AM

   http://www.mountainvoices.org/e_th_culture_and_customs.asp
   
   Extractions: Many traditions are associated with religion. One narrator, for example, mentions that when the Holy Tablet is carried out of the church the custom is to "escort it dressed in our best clothes and [to] celebrate the occasion with horse races" (Ethiopia 1) . Two Muslim narrators (Ethiopia 9 and 10) refer to Eid el Fitr, the feast at the end of Ramadan, when "we all go to the same place and drink our coffee and have breakfast together" . Some narrators sing traditional songs in the course of their testimonies and mention that new songs are composed to reflect changing circumstances. The custom of spontaneously composing funeral dirges is in decline, however; as elsewhere, it seems that musicians and singers now perform commercially rather than providing their services free. top "When the Holy Tablet comes out, there are traditional war songs [sung] even by elderly men. Guns are fired to herald the event and also at the funeral of a man to honour him as a hero. But now the authorities punish or detain people for firing their guns when the Holy Tablet is carried out of the Church. People fire their guns also because they have made vows to do so if they reach the next celebration in good health. Now all that fanfare and jubilation has been reduced by these restrictions."

    Extractions: Country Info Ethiopia Introduction Ethiopia General Data Ethiopia Maps Ethiopia Culture ... Ethiopia Time and Date Ethiopia Culture Back to Top Ethiopian culture is in the field of literature, represented predominantly by translations from ancient Greek, Arabic, and other languages into the ancient Gecez and modern Amharic. Most of the works are theological or mythological in nature. Secular literature is largely confined to history. Ecclesiastical architecture is relatively rich because of the early advent of Christianity in the country. Such structures and their frescoes usually show both Byzantine and Coptic influences. Ethiopia’s skillful and imaginative silversmithing is also notable. The cultural heritage of Ethiopians resides in their religions, languages, and extended families. All major language and religious groups have their own cultural practices (which also vary by geographic location); however, there are commonalities that form strong and recognizable national traits. Most Ethiopians place less importance on artifacts of culture than they do on an idealized ethos of cultural refinement as reflected in a respect for human sanctity, the practice of social graces, and the blessings of accumulated wisdom. Religion provides the basic tenets of morality. The invocation of God is often all that is needed to seal agreements, deliver on promises, and seek justifiable redress. Hospitality is reckoned the ultimate expression of grace in social relations. Old age earns respect and prominence in society, especially because of the piety, wisdom, knowledge, prudence, and altruism that it is supposed to bestow.

    ethiopia culture Overview. The roots of ethiopian culture lie inancient Aksum, one of the greatest kingdoms of African history.  
    http://expedition.bensenville.lib.il.us/Africa/Ethiopia/culture.htm
    
    Extractions: The roots of Ethiopian culture lie in ancient Aksum, one of the greatest kingdoms of African history. During the fourth century, the Emperor of Aksum converted to Christianity. Religious cohesion under a royal family that traced its descent from the biblical Solomon and the Queen of Sheba offset the political difficulties of later Ethiopians, and served to differentiate them from all of their Islamic neighbors. Ethiopians are proud to have successfully resisted European colonialism in the 19th and 20th centuries. The expansion of the country has brought more Muslim groups into the population, and the Marxist government after 1974 withdrew official support for the Christian church. The capital, Addis Ababa, is a prominent center of pan-African concerns, but local political and climatic difficulties have left Ethiopians little time to develop new avenues for their rich cultural heritage. The Amhara people, although they are no longer the majority of the population, are often assumed to have the representative culture of Ethiopia because of the Amharazation program conducted by Emperor Haile Selassie during much of the 20th century. Amhara is the official language, derived from the ancient Geez of the Ethiopian Orthodox liturgical literature. There are, however, over 75 different local languages spoken in the country that are divided into Semitic (like Amhara), Hamidic, Omotic, and Nilo-Saharan categories. English, French, Italian, and Arabic are spoken as well. The majority of Ethiopians are Oromo, and the majority of Oromo are Sunni Muslims. Overall, nearly half of Ethiopians are Muslim. There are small minorities of animists and Roman Catholics, while the remainder of the population follows the traditional Ethiopian Orthodox Church, a Monophysite Christianity like the Coptic Church in Egypt.
