Tigrinya

iPhone / Education

Tigrinya is the official language of Eritrea and is also spoken in the northern parts of Ethiopia. It is a semitic language and is written with a unique Geez alphabet used only in Eritrea and Ethiopia.
In this app you can see many common words used in the Tigrinya language. The words are written in English first and also in Tigrinya using the latin alphabet as well as the Geez alphabet for those that can read it and a picture is seen that shows what one is looking at, so knowing English is not an absolute necessity.
The common word categories that have been included are the following:
•Animals
•Fruits
•Vegetables
•Food and drinks
•Sports
•Habitation and furniture as well as household appliances
•Numbers
•Calendar with weekdays and months
•Music
•Colours
•Emotions
•Body organs and parts
•Family relationships
•Nature
•Transportation.
The list can possibly get longer but at present time many words that are used in every day language are found here.
When you clicks a page a sound automatically runs so that you can hear what you is looking at. You can hear the sound again by clicking on the sound icon seen on the page. The creator of this app hopes that it will be a useful tool to teach children and adults some of the common words in the Tigrinya language.
