 The Amharic language possibly originated as result of a pidginization process with a Cushitic substratum and a Semitic superstratum to enable communication between people who spoke a mix of different languages.This pidginization of the new language had enabled the soldiers to create communication means independent of the Church, which used the Ge'ez language.The language serves as the working language of Ethiopia, and is also the working language of several of the states within the Ethiopian federal system.
