Addendum (2 of 2): Amharic.

I'm very interested to see what Amharic is like, when that phrasebook finally comes in.

Amharic is from the same language family as Hebrew and Egyptian and from phrases I've learned from coworkers I've already noticed a few similarities here and there in the way that the language works - like, for example, it has separate male and female forms that go with the word "you" - but I wonder what else I'll notice, when I get to see the grammar written down about more extensively.

It's kind of silly, but it'll be fun, and that kind of random residual knowledge never really hurts anything.
