[QUOTE]Originally posted by Supercar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Hikuptah: Supercar of course i see similarities between it and Sabean i even see similarities between the sabean Tifnagh[/QUOTE]I assume when you say "it" in the above, you are referring to Amharic letters. I really don't see the resemblance in general, between Amharic and Tuareg Tifnagh or Sabean and Tifnagh. I do however see relatively more resemblance between Amharic letters and that of ancient Sabean script. But even the Amharic script is distinctive enough from ancient Sabean, since it has been further developed from the earlier script used in Abyssinia. Tifnagh's ancestral script may have had some Phoenician script "influence"; the idea of it "deriving" from Phoenician script is contested by some scholars, including those among "Berber" speakers. It is distinctive enough though, from Phoenician, since, like I said earlier, the Saharan script has undergone various modifications through the ages, to keep up with the times. [QUOTE]Hikuptah: ..and there is another script they found in the sinai they thought it was sabean because it look identical to it but it wasnt. Supercar have u ever seen the hebrew Ethiopian/Sabean and Phoenician see them all side by side u will see alot of similarities. [/QUOTE]In that Sabean ultimately derives from Phoenician, it is understandable that there will be some similarities here and there. [/QB][/QUOTE]
