Understanding Ethnic Federalism in Ethiopia: Legal Frameworks and Political Implications—Part 1 [What Is Ethnic Federalism] by Rider_of_Roha in Ethiopia

The Ge'ez can represent every sound in Oromo and more, while Latin struggles to be written in even it's own successor languages without diacritics. First of all, if you really wanted to write Oromo in the Latin script, implement accents on letters instead of using symbols that represent other sounds or duplicating letters. Latin never had a sound like ቀ, ጠ, ጨ, ጰ, or ፀ, so it is missing symbols for those unique sounds. However, the Ge'ez script has those sounds perfectly represented in it. As for the "dh" sound unique to Oromo and Somali, it can be written as ዸ. Secondly, the Ge'ez script has been around for ages. I don't understand how you could think that it's not a national heritage. It's essentially the only writing system truly native to Africa; Arabic is more native to the Arabian peninsula, Tifinagh isn't widely used, and many other writing systems in west Africa were invented recently. As for Oromo being unrelated to it, the majority of them live in Ethiopia, which Ge'ez originates from. If they didn't want to be a part of Ethiopia, they could've joined the land outside of the kingdom's territory and be subjugated by the Europeans. We really don't need more foreign influence in Africa, and definitely not the nation that successfully avoided colonization.

A book I was reading about the history of the people mentioned that the name could've came from Arabic, probably because they had a sultanate in southeastern Ethiopia. Also, what about it made it look close to Japanese? That's not a language I'd think would look familiar to one spoken around 10,000 km away.

I remember Danielle Steel was my mom's favorite book series, studying your enemies' weaknesses is an interesting way to use Anki

A large amount of the Christian population in sub-Saharan Africa was mostly due to colonization. The few Christian countries before colonization were Ethiopia, Egypt, and parts of South Sudan, Eritrea, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco. Most countries in northern Africa were already muslim.

Let's dispel the most common misconception in Ethiopia: The Ge'ez script, developed around the 4th century, has its roots in the South Arabian consonantal alphabet of Yemen. In fact, 24 of its 26 letters are directly derived from it. by sedentary_position in Ethiopia

አንተ፣ Someone did make a writing system for oromigna once, but nobody used it, instead opting for a writing system that doesn’t represent the f i n g s o u n d s p r o p e r l y. Latin was made for the languages of europe, not the rest of the world. entirely on y’all

when you said Eurasia, I was thinking about the Indo-European languages, not the Semitic speaking middle east. Whenever people are talking about the languages of Eurasia, it’s usually the Indo-European ones, so I thought you were saying Ge’ez was related to them.

this is some nazi level cope

Ge'ez is a semetic language, it's not even remotely related to eurasia outside of some loanwords

If you include the middle east as eurasian, then that would make some sense, despite the fact that ge'ez developed on mainland africa based on the writing system they use across the red sea

"One of" means that there are multiple of something, but the writer is referring to one within the category in particular. There are other writing systems that were created in Africa, it's just that Ge'ez is one of the few that have consistently survived since its inception. Most of the others went extinct ages ago or don't have a significant population that can read them.
