Weekly podcast.
The Abyssinian Syllabary spells out the history of Ethiopia in 33 vignettes of Ethiopian lives – each life corresponding to one of the main 33 symbols of the Abyssinian Syllabary or Abugida.

፨ Part historical fiction and part magic scroll, The Abyssinian Syllabary mixes fact and fiction to breathe a new life into the characters of the Ethiopian palimpsest. ፦
