History Of The Amhara People

What is the history of the Amhara People? There are people in Africa who prohibit intermarriages with other ethnic tribes because they believe it can pollute the customs and traditions of the people. Interestingly, the Amharas disbelieve in this school of thought as they intermarried and adopted some of the Cushtic people and positioned them as one of the two largest ethnolinguistic groups of Ethiopia. Today, they constitute more than one-fourth of the country's population. In this video, we will go back in time and look into the historical background of the Amhara people and how they have fared so far. We are excited to share these with you and promise a thrilling watch. Who are the Amhara Ethnic Group? The Amhara are one of the two largest ethnolinguistic groups in Ethiopia and account for more than one-fourth of the country's population. They descended from ancient Semitic conquerors that interacted with indigenous Cushtic people. Presently, they are settlers in the central and western parts of Ethiopia and speak the Amharic language, which belongs to the "Southwest Semitic Group." This ethnic group has been a significant player in the history of Ethiopia because, before the 1990s, Amhara was the official language of Ethiopia. It has established the importance of the language. The Amharas have ruled Ethiopia for ages, and between the years 1270 and 1974, the majority of the country's rulers were people from Amhara. There was a major feud between the Amhara and other ethnic groups in Ethiopia, including the Oromo, which caused a strain between them. With rich olive and brown skin, the Amhara have very beautiful and pronounced facial features similar to the Southern Arabians. They are also hardworking folks and are primarily interested in agriculture. Some of the products cultivated include wheat, maize barley, sorghum, and teff which is a staple of the region. Culture and Traditions of the Amharas Amhara culture is patriarchal and authoritarian, and all privileges and authority come from the male head. Their culture acknowledges kingship. However, household relationships hold greater significance for them. Cultural, political, and economic functions are based on an individual's abilities and not on family relationships. Additionally, they adhere to a social framework characterized by close, individual connections between patrons and customers, superiors and subordinates such that a person without land is considered inferior and treated accordingly. A significant aspect of the Amhara culture is its music and dance, and the "Eskita", a traditional dance of the people, is one of the most intriguing types of dance in Ethiopia. The Amharas are also famous for their unique traditional clothing. "Gobi" is a type of shawl worn by men, while "Habesha" is worn by women as a dress. There are myths, parables, and anecdotes in the Amhara culture narrated in folktales that instil morals in children and adults alike; it also aims to explain occurrences to the people since scientific explanations are incomprehensible. Marriage and Religion of the Amharas The Amhara practice three types of marriage: kal kidan, qurban and damoz. Kal Kidan is the most common form of marriage governed by a legal agreement. On the other hand, Qurban, which is the least common form of marriage among people, is considered sacred and cannot be dissolved even after a partner's death. Because of the restrictions that come with it, the Amhara natives boycott this marriage, usually performed in a church. The Damuz type of marriage has the lowest status, where a woman receives payment to be a temporary wife for a brief period. Children born under this arrangement are considered legitimate, but the woman cannot have any claim to her husband's estate. This type of marriage was abolished in the 20th century, but they continue to practice it. Religion is an integral part of the people and many festivals and ceremonies are conducted with a dose of religious rituals.
