Description
Ge'ez is an ancient Semitic language originating in the Horn of Africa, primarily Ethiopia and Eritrea, with a history stretching back over 2,000 years. Once a spoken language of the Aksumite Empire, it now serves as a liturgical language for the Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Churches and the Beta Israel Jewish community.
