Talk:Amha Selassie

Untitled

Is that the correct spelling of the 'Taffari,' in the Rastafari movement article it says 'Täfäri.' Rmpfu89 00:27, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

There really is no "correct spelling" as it is not an English word. It has been spelled as Taffari, Tafari, Teferi etc. The Rastafarians have pronounced it their own particular way, which is not the way it is pronounced in Ethiopia. Phonetically "Teferi" is the closest to how the Amharic name actually sounds. Generally however, the prefered English spelling has varied between Taffari and Tafari. Sendeq

Name

Is there any reason the name of the article shouldn't simply be "Amha Selassie" (currently a redirect) instead of "Amha Selassie of Ethiopia"? -- Gyrofrog (talk) 22:43, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

He had five children, four of whom survived him. His eldest daughter, Princess Ijigayehu Asfaw Wossen died in prison in 1975 from medical neglect. Princess Ijigayehu was Amha Selassie's daughter from his first marriage to Princess Wollete Israel Seyoum of Tigrai. By his second marriage to Princess (Empress) Medferiashwork Abebe, he had four more children who are all still living. They are Princess Mariam Senna, Princess Sehin, Princess Sefrash Bizu, and Crown Prince Zera Yacob. There are numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.127.253.44 (talk) 19:30, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
