How to say “Abyssinia” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
هَاجَرَ إِلَى الْحَبَشَةِ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ،
Some of the Muslims emigrated to Abyssinia.
الْحَبَشَةِ — Abyssinia. A place-name on the receiving end of 'to', so it sits in the genitive after that preposition, with the al- marking it as the specific known land. It is the destination of the emigration, the journey's goal pinned down.
