Learning a few key phrases will greatly enhance your travel experience and help you connect with locals. Amharic uses a script called “Fidel” with 33 basic characters, each with 7 forms. While the script may seem challenging, the phonetic pronunciation is relatively straightforward.<\/p>\n \n <div class=\"amharic-categories\">\n \n <div class=\"amharic-category\">\n <h4>Greetings & Basics<\/h4>\n <table class=\"phrase-table\">\n <tr>\n <th>English<\/th>\n <th>Amharic<\/th>\n <th>Transliteration<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n <tr>\n <td>Hello \/ Peace<\/td>\n <td class=\"amharic-script\">\u1230\u120b\u121d<\/td>\n <td class=\"transliteration\">Selam<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <tr>\n <td>How are you?
