EThiopia shuould teach Geez as a subject in high schools (from Grade 8)

Post by EthioRedSea » 15 Dec 2019, 16:14

We need to revive Geez because it is the foundation of our culture and that of many other cultures.
Teaching Geez in junior high schools should be offered.
This gives many people a chance to be employed ( estimated number of Geez teachers could be at least 5000)
It gives the universities a chance to develop their department of Geez Language and Literature
It brings back our common achievement to light and develop our culture better.
We need to develop the old Ethiopia to embrace the new Ethiopia.
We need to use Ethiopic script in all our languages.
Oromo and other nationalities should use Ethiopic or Geez script.
The Oromo will have equal rights as the rest of us.
No tribe or naitonality shall be politically dominant.

Geʽez (Geʽez: ግዕዝ, Gəʿəz), also known as Ethiopic, is a script used as an abugida (alphasyllabary) for several languages in Ethiopia. It originated as an abjad (consonant-only alphabet) and was first used to write Geʽez, now the liturgical language of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, and Beta Israel, the Jewish community in Ethiopia. In Amharic and Tigrinya, the script is often called fidäl (ፊደል), meaning "script" or "alphabet".

The Geʽez script has been adapted to write other languages, mostly Semitic, particularly Amharic in Ethiopia, and Tigrinya in both Eritrea and Ethiopia. It is also used for Sebat Bet, Meʼen, and most other languages of Ethiopia. In Eritrea it is used for Tigre and it has traditionally been used for Bilen, a Cushitic language. Tigre, spoken in western and northern Eritrea, is considered to resemble Geʽez more than do the other derivative languages. Other Cushitic peoples in the Horn of Africa, such as Oromos, Somalis and Afars, used Latin-based orthographies.

For the representation of sounds, this article uses a system that is common (though not universal) among linguists who work on Ethiopian Semitic languages. This differs somewhat from the conventions of the International Phonetic Alphabet.

I do not like Eritreans to come to Ethiopia because they are parasites. They do not bring anything important to Tigray and Ethiopia. They work in sex business and have no high moral to be disciplined and look for other jobs or create jobs as entrepeneurs. It is better to keep them stay in their country and help them by sending food stuff or health materials like medicines. What Ethiopia or Tigray needs to do now is get the South Mereb back ( SouthRed Sea). Eritreans should not be any concern for Ethipians because they have their own country. The West is forcing Ethiopia to accept Eritrean refugees. The Peace Prize is a way of cheating Ethiopians by bribing the prime minister with such worthless prize.
