Have 2 Ethiopian coworkers. One is born there and grew up there. Her daughter who also works here either moved here young or was born here. I write notes using arabic/farsi letters including things about customers and coworkers to vent to myself or make notes to check something later. Do you think they would be able to understand it? I know amharic has a completely different alphabet, but when I look at oromo one of their alphabets looks Arabic.
