Words: Ge-ap-ez
Part of speech: n
Definition: a Semitic language of ancient Ethiopia, now used only as the liturgical language of the Ethiopian Church.
Example: Some linguists do not believe that Geʻez constitutes the common ancestor of modern Ethiopian languages, but that Geʻez became a separate language early on from some hypothetical, completely unattested language, and can thus be seen as an extinct sister language of Tigre and Tigrinya.
