Answer» What is Geez mean? Geʽez (; ግዕዝ, Gəʿəz IPA: [ˈɡɨʕɨz] (listen) or Geëz, and sometimes referred to in scholarly literature as Classical Ethiopic) is an ancient Ethiopian Semitic language. The language originates from what is now Eritrea and northern Ethiopia. Today, Geʽez is used only as the main liturgical language of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, the Ethiopian Catholic Church and Eritrean Catholic Church, and the Beta Israel Jewish community. The closest living languages to Geʽez are Tigre and Tigrinya with lexical similarity at 71% and 68%, respectively. Most linguists do not believe that Geʽez constitutes a common ancestor of modern Ethio-Semitic languages, but that Geʽez became a separate language early on from another hypothetical unattested common language. reference
