Abyssinica SIL Font
Abyssinica SIL is a font based on Ethiopic calligraphic traditions. It supports all Ethiopic characters up to and including the new Unicode 14.0 additions. Because of this, all of the Ethiopic script languages have full Unicode representation as far as we know.
Ethiopic Fonts Library
The ScriptSource Ethiopic fonts library offers download links for fonts that were specifically designed for Ethiopic languages by SIL and other organizations. In addition, it provides special keyboarding solutions that can be used for various language groups.
Language Software Library
The LingTranSoft software library allows access to software tools developed by SIL. Parsers, dictionary builders, keyboards, and more can be downloaded through this site. By using these powerful tools, language learning, literacy, and related tasks become easier.
