Abstract
Different ways of writing the same word in different forms of the Amharic script bring confusion. Writing a word in different types of letters results in many
problems. It brings a change of meaning and shows a lack of consistent orthography in the language. Different scholars forwarded their proposals in relation to this topic which can be categorized into two. The first says “Amharic should have consistent orthography and preserving all existing scripts (fidälat) is essential”.
The second proposal says: “Having more than one script for the same letter in Amharic brings confusion and these similar scripts (fidälat) should be removed
from the orthography”. The objective of this article is to discuss the views and analyzing arguments of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church scholars in support of preserving all Amharic scripts.
