In which country is Amharic an official language?

Sophie, Maybe so, but everyone in the world already knew what BC and AD applied to in terms of dating information and knowledge of the world. It wasn’t particularly necessary to change things.

I meant most of the known world in terms of mediaeval history. And also, I found the explanation above didn’t really assist me in understanding the origin of the language ☺️

It’s quite simple, since most of the world have been used to measuring history by BC: Before Christ and AD: After Christ. However, only around 30% of the world are Christian. Therefore, CE: Common Era, and BCE: Before Common Era is much more understood, and inoffensive by humanity as a whole☺️
