- The Ge'ez
dialect is the language of the early Christian churches of Ethiopia,
and is referred to as "Classical Ethiopic" in contrast
to the several North and South Ethiopic dialects in use today. It
is a Semitic tongue and still functions as a liturgical language
in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Several early Jewish texts such as Enoch and Jubilees, as well as important witnesses to the New Testament, are preserved in this language.
