Blessings. Love the video but would change the title from calling it "dead" outright Igziabeher
Please give some Ge'ez lesson on your channel. It's my dream to have a conversation in Ge'ez like that. And I feel how it is so important to learn, teach, make it conversational so that the language is preserved! 💚💛❤
Nice but more study needs to be done as Geez obviously lost its original pronunciation. I speak Tigrigna, Tigre, Amharic, and Arabic. Geez is closer to arabic and Tigre. And of course many tigrigna and Amharic words that are not arabic. But when people speak Geez, it sounds Amharic. Geez should sound arabic and not like Amharic and that is the biggest problem.
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.
By 'dead' they kinda mean that it's not a language that's used in day to day conversation.
Bapapeeee otakkkk😂
Thank you
ግዕዝ, the First Language!!
So have you guys faced any racism in Sri Lanka? Being called as PENDATANG?
I haven't heard of anything like that happening.
❤❤❤❤ thanks
Geez in Ethiopia plays a role similar to what of sanscrit in India :it is part of a common heritage both spiritual and literary.
Di mana Sri Lanka tempat kamu? Saya nk pi boleh ke
Glory to God 🙏🏻☦️☦️☦️
My queston? Was the Ethiopian Eunuch, in the Court of Queen Candace, speaking G'ez, and how close to Ge'ez to Aramaic and Bible Hebrew?
"Is it dead?" "We praise God in it" "Yes SIR!". May the All Holy Trinity keep both these fine Orthodox churchmen and may they serve devotedly for many years.
How can I contact this man?
if you don't have anything good to say, don't say it. half the people in these comments are saying it's fake, but i know very well that they barely know geez in the first place. can't you guys compliment the video (or if you don't believe their saying geez then ignore the video, your choice) and leave? they tried their best, and i know im going to start having a lot of backlash and arguments replying to me, so for the haters that are jealous who want to start beef, i literally don't care what you have to say. I'll be sure to answer you back to be nice, but i don't care. whatever you say wont make me start being upset or whatev you want my reaction to be, because geez is an amazing language and we all know your jealous you can't speak it lol (im jk abt the jelous part, maybe) thanks, God bless!
❤❤❤
Saat srilanka di jajah belanda, mereka tak di sebut orang malay. Karena masih gunakan bahasa daerah masing masing, khusus nya dari jawa madura makasar maluku. Saat di jajah british maka disebut malay, karena mereka di janjikan untuk dapat pulang ke tanah leluhur jika mereka bersekutu dengan british melawan belanda di srilangka. Kenyataan nya janji itu tidak di tunaikan. Doktrin british Ini tidak terjadi di new caledonia, thailand, suriname, dutch. Tidak ada yang merasa menjadi orang malay di negara negara itu 😂
People calling this language ethiopian is so dumb- 90% of eritrea speak eitherr tigre or tigringa - which both are the most closest language to geez.
Eritrea just means Ethiopians by the red sea. forget the names, Ethiopian and Eritrea Tewahedo needs each other more than ever. Tewahdo church needs to take back the red sea again.
I wanna learn Geez after I finish learning Japanese. Is there a way an American can learn Geez?
Thank you, my one set of greats were from Cosenza. Montalto Uffugo, San sisto dei valdesi, San Fili etc ...
If geez language is spoken in public will be more stronger than just in church, why is it restricted to the church, if its a people language it should be spoken in public between different religion people and in urban cities too
How can I connect with a native speaker to teach me?
Complimenti per le spiegazioni accurate e la testimonianza. Io ho vissuto per due anni a Cosenza nei primi anni 2000....l'accento Cosentino è inconfondibile e lo ricordo molto piü marcato di quello parlato nel video.
Memang hampir sama persis dengan logat melayu Indonesia timur.. "kthrang" dari asal kata "kita orang", "thra/trang" dari "tidak" "melarath" dari "melarat" dsb. Bahkan intonasi bicara, kosakata, dan cara merangkai kalimat-nya pun sama persis dengan melayu timur. banyak komenan orang melayu-barat (sumatra, semenanjung+borneo utara) menganggap kosakata yg tidak dia pahami di video ini sebagai kata serapan dari bahasa Jawa atau India (biar kelihatan kalo melayu Sri Lanka ini aslinya melayu-barat cuman banyak kata2 serapan), padahal sebagai orang Jawa, saya tidak menemukan satu kata pun yg dari bahasa jawa asli. Yang saya lihat malah kental logat melayu timur yg dulu oleh belanda digunakan sebagai bahasa perdagangan / bahasa penyambung.
Mirip bahasa ternate .. Yang banyak pake trada.. 😂
Geez is not a forgotten language. But its used only in liturgy of tewahedo church, similar to Latin in the Catholic Church.
Geez is the first language.
We need to revive it like hebrew
Jangan cakap kuat² sembang pasal Malay@Melayu@Malaysia. Nanti puak konoha ketar ketir tak senang duduk. Puak² tu pantang & anti bila dengar nama Melayu lagi² bila dengar nama Malaysia.
Angkatan Udara Bukang ? Oghang Ganu ?.....😮😮😮
I know I’m late to the party but yes, I agree with what other Indonesians have said here that the way they speak sounds more like the dialects spoken in Eastern Indonesia (a region whose native languages are not even related to Malay i.e. not Austronesian), not what we perceive as the “proper” Malay from eastern Sumatra or western Borneo. Very interesting!
Many Sri Lankan Malays are of Ambonese or other eastern Indonesian descent. Bahasa Melayu Sri Lanka developed from contact between Javanese, Ambonese, Balinese as well as the Sinhalese and Tamils.
Jesus wasn’t white neither black nor asian, he was middle eastern
He was jew teaching judiaism Christianity is basically hebrew all knowing God and greek all creator come together. Geez should be taught to everybody who considers themselves hsbesha. ሀ ግዕዝ
Harari is Southern Ethiosemitic language, along with gurage silte argobba and zay languages And they are in same family with central ethiosemitic (Amharic) And northern ethiosemitc (Tigre) And hebrew and yemenite arabic Assyrian and Aramaic

I miei genitori sono di Melissa. Sono in Australia. Parliamo ancora il dialetto melissese che suona simile al cosentino
I really love this video. It's insightful and interesting to hear the different perspectives of whether this ancient language is really dead. Beautiful ♥
Bruh I’m Eritrean and I understand geez more than Amharic this is just like tigrinya with different words it’s logical when you think tigrinya and Tigre are direct decent of geez with 85% and Amharic is 50-55% I’m proud to hear the language my forefathers from over 2000 years spoke 🇪🇷
without geez we habesha stand divided and lost
Wow, sounds extremely Germanic to my ears, like a blend of Swedish and Yiddish, except for her R's, of course.
The language seems like tigrigna is there any books or….
She is so easy to understand but she is speaking more Italian than dialect. She has beautiful speech!
Should the Ge’ez language be revived and become the official language of Ethiopia? Just like Hebrew which was revived in the 19th century and became the official language of Israel. What are your thoughts?
Why Ethiopia if anything it has closer ties to Eritrea than Ethiopia's languages. Eritrea's Tigre and Tigrinya language is much closer to Ge'ez (As a tirgrinya speaker I can understand alot of what they are saying) than Ethiopia's amharic. But it would be cool if it was manditory to be taught in both countries. Kind of how japanese kids have to learn both Kanji and Hiragana. I hope it can be revived.
Yes it should be revived, without geez habesha is lost and divided, we don't even understand our own history, that should not be the case for the next generation
@@keshi5541i am amhara and can understand full phrases, plus there is more tigrinya speakers in ethiopia
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.
Our way of sounding words with different meaning is also our way. We considered the voice and manner it was articulated to into consideration, hebrew and arabic are similar and we began with similar written letters or alphabets written right to left like hebre and arabic, we didn't have vowels too Then vowels show up and abugida (do not know if invented independently or if sanskrite has influence) The we have current fidel
Stop fabricating. no such language called Geez. Christianity and Islam was introduced to region from across the Redsea.
well good for your wrong. 1. You realize that the alphabet system that Eritrea and Ethiopia are currently using today with 3 languages Amharic Tigrinya and the closest Tigre comes from the Ge'ez language? 2. It's commonly known that Christianity was introduced into the region by Frumentius and his brother.
@@manny7662 what is Geez language? Where is spoken at not in Ethiopia or Eritria ?
Sounds a bit like Kurdish
I think ge'ez is a beautifull language!
Now actually there are many school that teaches Ge'ez such as Ge'ez Academy in Addis.
en español
Omg this is so easy to understand for Persian speaking

Sri Lankan Malays are actually of Indonesian descent, mostly Javanese or east Indonesian (e.g. Ambonese) but also Balinese, Madurese and Buginese. A lot of them are mixed with Sri Lankan Moors or Sinhalese. The reason why they're called Malays is because when the British colonised Sri Lanka, they came across Sri Lankans who could speak Batavian Malay, which late developed into Sri Lankan Malay, so the British incorrectly termed them all "Malays" unaware that they were actually of diverse Indonesian origins. In the native languages of Sri Lanka, the Sri Lankan people of Javanese descent are still called "Javaan" or "Java Minissu".
