Amharic. He has a unique writing style which is not constrained by the
traditional Ethiopian writing style. Nor is his syntax orthodox. Even if
he uses simple words and seemingly light prose, Sebhat’s concepts are
highly sophisticated and philosophical. Some of his books are letum
aynegalegn, Tekusat, Säbatägnaw Mälak, Egrä Mängäd, Mastawäsha and
others Sibhat has got an award for his career from the UNESCO. Abugida |
