I agree completely. In the West, the foundation of a classical education was learning Ancient Greek and Latin. An Ethiopian equivalent would certainly entail learning Gi'iz in addition to Greek and/or Hebrew, so that students may engage fully with the sacred and secular texts of Ethiopian antiquity.

I most definitely love that someone takes interest in keeping up with something that's "dead"... we can and have learned entirely TOOOO much... I want to know what other readings we have missed out on

Thank you for airing this important informative video re: the Ge'ez language.

great Job!! Love Geez

Thank you Fasha brother keep it up we need more geniuses like you I wish i could learn Ge'ez am so grateful 🙏to come from my ancestors who made Ge'ez alive until now.

Maybe we need to update our vocabulary to move from calling these very vibrant languages "dead" to a designation of "no longer spoken natively" while no longer spoken natively, Ge'ez is clearly very alive and beautiful.

That would be a good idea. In cases like Hebrew, the language was not spoken natively for a long time, but now it is by millions of people - it seems overly dramatic to say a dead language was resurrected.

I really love this video. It's insightful and interesting to hear the different perspectives of whether this ancient language is really dead. Beautiful ♥

Thanks for the explanation.

I think the title is misleading. I agree with your explanation that the language is alive around the religioius environments but you labelled it as dead language. I am like you, fond of this language. Your effort to have a conversation is also a good gestre. I am in the process of writing a brief Geez grammar which is in draft format. It will be presented in Tigrinya. You may check the draft format on the internet by using keyword "Learn basic Geez grammar".

this is so amazing!! the alphabet kind of looks like Nusxuri script which is one of the 3 of Georgian writing systems. it's weird but some letters / characters also remind me of the ones of Asomtavruli. those two, like Ge'ez are also only used in liturgy in the orthodox church wow

Very cool what you're doing with Ge'ez. I'm fluent in Hebrew, and familiar with Arabic. Amharic/Ge'ez are like our missing African cousin. I do wonder why it, as opposed to other Semitic languages, is written from left to right. By the way, "sky" is "shamayim" in Hebrew and "sama" in Arabic.

How beautiful his name - Joy of Zion! Hearing the Hebrew connection also in the Ge'ez word for "sky" - which he pronounced as "samai" - the Hebrew sounds like "shamayim," I wonder (based on Judges 12:6) if it might be that these people were of Ephraim.

Actually it is quite probable. It seems to be the consensus among many European scholars as well that Ge'ez is the foundation from which some of the oldest languages were formed. Hence making it arguably the oldest language. Older than Hebrew, Arabic, Amharic and even Tigrinia. In the future, it wouldn't hurt to take a world history class or two. They can be found free of charge. tschuess

Its odd how people claim that Geez is a dead language. When 10 million plus known people still speak it. If thats the criteria for a dead language then we need to add more "dead" languages to that list.

bex ta yes Ge'ez was the language of Abysinnia upto the 13th century

i think one reason ge'ez is not used outside the church is because of 2 things. 1. ሞክሼ ፊደላት and 2. same sounding words with different meanings. 1. basically ሞክሼ ፊደላት are letters that "sound the same" - ህ/ሕ/ኅ ጽ/ፅ ስ/ሥ ጵ/ፕ 2. then there is the same sounding words - መሐረ (have mercy)/መሀረ (taught) and way more... the problem with these two things is that words can sound exactly the same but have different meanings based on the way it's spelled which makes ge'ez unsuitable for speaking. but this wasnt always the case because the ሞክሼ ፊደላት used to have different pronunciations. unfortunately, these pronunciations have been forgotten.

Ge'ez is Gods language given to his people. It comprises of all the audible sounds in their most basic form. This allows for the formation of new words quite effortlessly and allows for near infinite scaling of the language. Sadly, these truths have been buried and lost to the masses of the world for far too long. One only needs to look at any of the other languages that have been created by man afterwards to see how all others fall short in comparison. It's almost as if, the peoples making and developing new languages were trying to forge their own way apart from God. I guess the various rulers knew from a long time ago, if you can keep people from understanding themselves, they are far more likely to listen to whatever bs you tell them is correct.

Find the LEKHUR or LEKHA language….you’ll be close to biblical location of Babylon… clue: the people that presently live in Babylon still bear the original name Ezekiel was coined from. Ge’ez is called Ge’esii in that environment.

the late Professor Ulledroff had compared, hebrew/cannanite, accadian, Arabic and other so called single column two vowel scripts to the Ethiopic, he was honest to say that only the Ethiopian Language can corroborate things in the past, others cannot, U ppl cannot face the Truth, Geez/Amharic is the only Language that have the name of God, his mercy is shown in Amarigna; Christ's Yastemarew.

Hey Brother, Geez is not Amarigna. Geez belongs to Agazians(Ertirean-tigrigna, Eritrean-tigree, and Tigray of Ethiopia). Of course, Amhara adopted geez and deserves credit for making it to survive for so many years specially in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, but you cannot claim it as it is yours though.

Who told you Gieze is dead?? They are teaching it in advanced Universities throughout Europe, Canada and America. But, Gieze is not dead in Ethiopia. It was simply ignored by Ethiopians only during the last 80 years. Anyway, Learning Gieze takes only 3-6 months especially to an Amharic or Tigrigna speaking student cause these 2 languages in particular are extremely related and directly derived from Gieze. By the way , all other languages spoken in Ethiopia are closely related and derived from Gieze as well. Today, Oromigna use English alphabet instead of Gieze alphabet. Why?? Not because English alphabet is more adequate to write Oromigna accurately. No! Not at all. English alphabet is inefficient even for English language itself let alone Oromigna. Oromigna writing is replaced by English alphabet only to divide people of same origin. It is also to undermine Gieze alphabet and language at its original birth place. Gieze alphabet has the most complete and adequate letters to write any human literature and language on the planet!!Furthermore, Gieze alphabet is not only best to write and record human language but even to write and record any animal sounds with fantastic accuracy. The “thief or the “invader” wants Ethiopians to become detached and disconnected to the language, history, culture, religion etc.... and what better way is there than undermining Gieze so to someday somehow claim Gieze as his own instead. So, I advise you and others like you, to teach the Gieze you already know at least in your community so it will remain alive and well. It is sole property/ inheritance of Ethiopians. Gieze is Ethiopian people’s invention. It was not copied from any other people or culture. On the contrary, many other languages have borrowed letters from Gieze alphabet. Therefore, if we continue to ignore Gieze, it will die in Ethiopia and rise somewhere else cause it is not a treasure to throw away or replace. Gieze alphabet is the most excellent and complete alphabet known to human civilization thus far. Gieze alphabet is truly far more superior to any other alphabet in the world.

You must have written this before watching the video.

How in the world you called Geez as Ethiopic? Come on brother, Geez is Agazianic language. The original language of Tigree (Northern Eritrea) Tigrigna(Kebesa southern Eritrea) and Tigray(Northern Ethiopia). Of course, the Amhara people adopted Geez, but it is not their original language. Yes, of course the same as Tigrigna speaking people of Eritrea and Tigray, the Amhara people also played a big role in keeping Geez to survive its existence(Specially in the Orthodox Coptic Church). No one denied that, but it is not Ethiopic by nature though. So, please don't twist historic nature of this ancient language. It is Agazianic language.

Please read this article mereja.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=31921&mobile=on You will find out who they were and where they came from and how they end up settled in Eritrea , in Tigray and then in some parts of the Amhara regions. Eritrean Tigrigna and Tigree as well as Tigrayans of Ethiopia are the closest ethnic group of Agazians(Himyarite) who used to speak Geez langauge. Where as Amhara people were Habesha( Habeshaite) which they inherited Geez from Agazians to begin with . The reason for that is that b.c both Agazians and Habeshaite were intermingled in the Arabian land and also in the now called Ethiopia and Eritrea in a span of thousands of years. Anyways read the article from the link for your knowledge.

May be for you it is a joke, but for Tigrigna and Tigree speaking people of Eritrea and Tigray, this Geez and Agazian identity is in their blood. I don't know about you though. By the way, sometimes the Amhara people claimed that they have have a 3000 years of history is not b.c Ethiopia itself has 3000 years of history, it is b.c of Agazians 3000 years of history. So to begin with Geez and the so called 3000 years of history that is claimed by the Amhara is not your history. It is Agazians history. The fact is on the ground. You can prove it if you go to Aksum and Adulis(the old port during the kingdom of Aksum).

you are as idiot as dummy. You did not read the comment with your right mind. Agew is different ethnic. Tigree or Tigrigna is different ethnic group as well. Tigrigna and Tigrie are pretty much the same ethinic group. Tigirgna speaking people has their own ethnic group not only they have their own language, but also they have their own culture and norms.

No. It had to do with cushitic influences mostly the agew. Ahmaric and tigrinia is an emergent effect of demographic change due to axumite migration deeper into africa mostly south.

The three Geez letters that spells G-Gamel, wonderful n majestic, I-Tsadis, the Righteous One, Z-Zai commemoration of God. Alif/Alfa as Jesus declared it, A-God the Eternal Father, L-Lawi the Most High God, F-Fef the Love of God. This is Not a dead language, be careful Ethiopians the others including south Arab scribble do not carry the Spirit Character Eloquence of of God n Christ, Geez Amarigna show the Holy Trinity the Tewahdo of Jesus n the creation, Zelelamawi Christian Ethiopia your enemies are being scattered like those dead broken scripts n scribbles.

Geez is written from left - right because the 7 Spirit of Lord that proceeds from his heart/thronre Rev. 1, 4; are represented by the 7 vowels in the script. hebrew Arabic Syriack do not have this 7 columns. reason why God n Ethiopia are in the same sentence in 68 Psalm, our national psalm, u can't learn Geezamharic completely without the knowledge of God Bible n Ethiopian full history in creation, must be truthfull!
