There was a famous UCLA professor named Wolf Leslau who was the world’s greatest expert on the language. He also founded the Near Eastern Languages program at the school. He preceded the professor who was my academic advisor when I did my MA there in Hebrew Literature.

I didn’t know it was related to Hebrew but that makes some sense. How else could the Queen of Sheba have talked to King Solomon??

Minor comment: Amharic is a Semitic language, and related to Hebrew.
