Ge'ez. Classical Ethiopian, which belongs to the South Semitic languages ​​along with North and South Arabia.

Since the 10th century, it has been used exclusively as the religious and literary language of the Ethiopian Church. In modern Ethiopia, there are 70 to 80 languages ​​in use, including Amharic and Tigrinya, and they are collectively called Ethiopian languages.
