Abstract:

Ge'ez, a South-Semitic language, is the classical tongue of
Ethiopia. Extinct as a spoken language since the 10th century, it is
still used by the Ethiopian church, and still influencing the modern
languages of Ethiopia. In this regard it's comparable to the Classical
tongues of Europe, Latin and Greek. After Egyptian and Meroitic it is
one of the oldest attested languages of Africa.

The present volumne contains: A short outline of the problems
connected with Ge'ez phonology; the basic structures of the
morphology, with special reference to the verb; the principles of
Ge'ez syntax; a sample text, thoroughly analyzed in interlinear
translations. Comparative charts of the nomenclature of the verbal
stems, a chapter on reseach tools and literature and an ample
bibliography should function as a helpful guide to Ge'ez -studies for
the non-specialist and faciliate reference. The second revised and
enlarged edition takes account of new findings, the bibliography is
updated and more examples are given.
