FACT: GEEZ CAME FIRST & THEN TIGRAIYT *ERITREAN MUSLIMS* THEN TIGRINYA & THEN AMHARIC THIS IS HOW GEEZ EXPANDED!!!

Ben Amir were slaves. They are pastoralists or nomads still. Tigre uses some words from Geez because Ben Amirs were slaves of aksumite Kingdom. Geez is used in Tigray and Amhara regions since about 3000 years . We are judeo-christians and have been using the Old Testament as a source of law and custom before we accepted Christianity.

Ben Amirs or Assaorta were slaves during the Aksumite Kingdom. They speak Tigre which
uses some words from Geez just as do some tribes in West Africa.There is no connection otherwise to Aksumite Civilisation and culture.

GEEZ became the official language of the Axumite Empire when Emperor Ezana Converted to Christianity in 330 AD Prior to Emperor Ezanas conversion Sabaean was the official language of the Axumites COPTIC CHRISTIAN Empire Geez has nothing to due with Islam Beni Amir, Geez is a habasha language just because Tigrayit slaves who were slaves of Islam since 1500 speak the closest language of Geez just means it evolved the less due to its dry barren climate that lacks other inhabitant actions
