The purpose of this paper is to explore the effect that Geez literature had on originating Amharic literature and developing it. The Amharic language emerged as the principal successor tongue and the daughter language of Classical Ethiopic. The impact of Geez literature is evident in a lot of Amharic literature works. The bases of Amharic literature is mainly derived from the moral, religious, philosophical tradition already well established in Ge’ez literature. This can be proved through scrutinizing the content and form of these texts.
