A document showing the Amharic/Geez alphabetical table. It is new to me the way it is arranged. I think it was done at the time of Haile Selassie in his early years. This was done in commemoration of King Menelik II. The first column represents the modernized form of learning the alphabets. The third column shows the much older form. The royal insignia in the middle between the two sovereigns, Menelik II and Haile Selassie is that of the Solomonic dynasty. B
