Description: INTRODUCTIONModern Harari is the language of the Harari people of Ethiopia. The old Harari language waswritten using the Arabic script. When Harar became part of Abyssinia, the Ethiopian (Geez)script was introduced for Modern Harari.Within Australia, Harari children are taught the Harari language using the Latin script. Theexisting Ethiopic and Arabic orthographies cannot represent all the sounds in the Hararilanguage. Revisions to the Ethiopic and Arabic orthographies have been discussed in Ethiopiaand Australia.This document will outline character repertoire requirements for the Latin orthography and therevised Ethiopic and Arabic orthographies.
