Abstract: The next word prediction is useful for the users and helps them to write more accurately and quickly. Next word prediction is vital for the Amharic Language since different characters can be written by pressing the same consonants along with different vowels, combinations of vowels, and special keys. As a result, we present a Bi-directional Long Short Term-Gated Recurrent Unit (BLST-GRU) network model for the prediction of the next word for the Amharic Language. We evaluate the proposed network model with 63,300 Amharic sentence and produces 78.6% accuracy. In addition, we have compared the proposed model with state-of-the-art models such as LSTM, GRU, and BLSTM. The experimental result shows, that the proposed network model produces a promising result.
