Tigrigna and Amharic are descendants of Geez. The Amhara are one of the semetic people. The Amhara and Tigrayns of Ethiopia are the same people. The Amhara were Geez speakers and speak Geez in the Church. The new comers are Oromo or The Galla.

Tigray and Amhara do not like each other because of one of them always has dominnated Ethiopian politics. There has been power struggle, which sometimes ended in favour of the Amhara and other times in favour of Tigrayans (includes Seraye, Akule Guzay and Hammassen).

Every community who uses Geez or has used Geez is agazian be definition. It is not only TigrayTigrign but also Gondar, Gojam, Wollo, Shewa.
Tigrigna is a language and culture while Tigray is a specific geographic area. Don't mix everything with everything.

But Amahric and Tigray languges( or any other languge for that matter) didn't decend from Ge'ez. Your claim is based on an old belive that is, well, old!

Let me make it simple for you, Ge'ez is not the common ancestor for all Ethio semetic languges. It doesn't even have any dialect and most of all, it's dead, together with its original tribe who spoke it. Those original Ge'ez speaking Axumite didn't had any descendent, all of them were either killed or assimilated. So claiming to be because your church kept it from being completely extinct is like me, an Ethiopian black person, claiming to be a direct descendant of the Romans because I joined a Catholic Church or school who uses Latin.

@Rtt,
Are you serious?? Make some reading about semetic languages, you will find out Tigrigna and Amharic are developed from Geez. Geez is pervasive in all semetic langages: arabic, hebrew, armiac. Tigrigna is okder than Amharic as it is similar to Armaic, an old syrian semetic language, with which The Holy Bible was written.

Please read the following to start with:

The Semitic languages, previously also named Syro-Arabian languages, are a branch of the Afroasiatic language family originating in the Middle East that are spoken by more than 330 million people across much of Western Asia, North Africa and the Horn of Africa, as well as in often large immigrant and expatriate communities in North America, Europe and Australasia. The terminology was first used in the 1780s by members of the Göttingen School of History, who derived the name from Shem, one of the three sons of Noah in the Book of Genesis.

The most widely spoken Semitic languages today are (numbers given are for native speakers only) Arabic (300 million), Amharic (22 million), Tigrinya (7 million),Hebrew (~5 million native/L1 speakers),Tigre (~1.05 million), Aramaic (575,000 to 1 million largely Assyrian fluent speakers) and Maltese (483,000 speakers).

Semitic languages occur in written form from a very early historical date, with East Semitic Akkadian and Eblaite texts (written in a script adapted from Sumerian [ deleted ]) appearing from the 30th century BCE and the 25th century BCE in Mesopotamia and the northern Levant respectively. The only earlier attested languages are Sumerian, Elamite (2800 BCE to 550 BCE) (both language isolates), Egyptian and unclassified Lullubi from the 30th century BCE.

Most scripts used to write Semitic languages are abjads – a type of alphabetic script that omits some or all of the vowels, which is feasible for these languages because the consonants in the Semitic languages are the primary carriers of meaning. Among them are the Ugaritic, Phoenician, Aramaic, Hebrew, Syriac, Arabic, and South Arabian alphabets. The Ge'ez script, used for writing the Semitic languages of Ethiopia and Eritrea, is technically an abugida – a modified abjad in which vowels are notated using diacritic marks added to the consonants at all times, in contrast with other Semitic languages which indicate diacritics based on need or for introductory purposes. Maltese is the only Semitic language written in the Latin script and the only Semitic language to be an official language of the European Union.

The Semitic languages are notable for their nonconcatenative morphology. That is, word roots are not themselves syllables or words, but instead are isolated sets of consonants (usually three, making a so-called triliteral root). Words are composed out of roots not so much by adding prefixes or suffixes, but rather by filling in the vowels between the root consonants (although prefixes and suffixes are often added as well). For example, in Arabic, the root meaning "write" has the form k-t-b. From this root, words are formed by filling in the vowels and sometimes adding additional consonants, e.g. كتاب kitāb "book", كتب kutub "books", كاتب kātib "writer", كتّاب kuttāb "writers", كتب kataba "he wrote", يكتب yaktubu "he writes", etc.

Geez is still used by The Ethiopian Orthodox Church. It is thus not extinct. It might be necessary for Ethiopians to revive Geez by introducing it as an option in high schools. There are undergraduate Geez progemmes at the universitis of Gondar and Mekelle.

Horus,


I never said that seb and sew had anything to do with hameru ha. I mentioned hameru ha to point out how Hizb is pronounced on one side in Amharic and on the other side in both Tigrigna and Arabic. There are some Arabic words like Hizb,MusHaf and Birhan that the Arabs borrowed from us. That is how Arabic is related to our languages. Once again my focus was on Hizb not on seb and sew.

There is no disagreement between you and me. I supported your view that Hizb means among others a group of people and then I went further to add my contribution by stating that modern Arabs today use Hizb to mean party ( political ) which is related to the definition that you gave.

Rtt,
The information you have brought is made by Amhara intelectuals and is false as this does not explain the similarity between Tigrigna and Armaic. We believ Armaic is the origin for all semitic languages. Geez, Amharic, Tigrigna and Guraghe languages are semitic. Tigrigna and Guraghe speakers are related to Middle Eastern people. Most Amhara do also. This is genetically proven and our culure (Semitc Ethiopian ) is ralted with Asians.We are asians and blacks- a mixture.
Most family names of Pakistan, Afgahnistan and Bangladesh are related to Tigrigna and Geez. So do most Arabic and yemen names. We should not be ashamed of our semitic roots.

Dear Naga Tuma: Very good questions, but why did you ask: what motivated you to ask these questions?

It would have been better if we knew what confusions you encountered about these terms. Terms like , ግዕዝ, ኣግዓዚ, እግዚኣብሔር እግዚእ, እግዚኦ, and ብሔር, have been in use for centuries. However, I find--in my readings-- ህብረብሄር or ኅብረ-ብሔር a relatively recently (a few years or decades) coined term; and has appeared in frequent use probably in the last 40 years; and more so since EPRDF started discussing "the need" of uniting its coalition members into one united party. I find it confusing more now, when different people seem to mean different things by the same term. I also want you to take note that such longstanding words/terms could change their conceptualization/meaning over time. One word could also have several meanings, and different persons could get into arguments (and often confuse others) on the definition of certain term/word. Regardless, though, this is a good opportunity to clarify what ህብረብሄር or ኅብረ-ብሔር means to whom, and when.

Let us try to bring our knowledge of these terms to the same level. For that reason, I directed my efforts towards what authoritative people (persons who studied them better than the average person) have written about some or all of these words/terms. I researched various sources of information---primarily dictionaries---and I will share my findings here. After that, I shall endeavor into getting samples of how different persons utilize ህብረብሄር or ኅብረ-ብሔር in their writings, and in what sense. Bear with me, please. I will present here a few things at a time, without much opinions:

[1] According to https://dictionary.abyssinica.com/%E1%8 ... 5%E1%8B%9D
ግዕዝ = ("the free") ከዐማርኛ ከትግሪኛ ከዕብራይስጥ ከዐረቢ አንድነት ያለው ኢትዮጵያ ብሔረ አግዐዚ በተባለች ጊዜ ቋንቋውም ግዕዝ ተባለ በነፃነት በጌትነት እየ ተስፋፋ የሚጓዝ ማለትነው (ግዕዘ ተጓዘ ቀስ እያለ ሔደ ([ግዕዝ])።
[2] According to August Dillman.(1899). Ethiopic Grammar. 2nd ed.,1907, London.
ሕዝብ ("nation"); p. 37.
አሕዛብ ("nations"); p. 37.

ብሔር ("land", "country", "the earth") p. 231.
ብሔር ("land") p.297, 312
ብሔራት ( "lands") p. 297.
በሓውርት ( "lands") p. 81
እምነ ርሑቅ ብሔር ጥቀ = "from a very far country" p.473.


ግዕዝና = "emancipation"; p. 260.
አግዓዚ , or sometimes አጋዕዚ; p. 91.

እግዚአ ኲሉ ("the lord of all"); p. 362.
እግዚእ ("lord") p. 312.
አጋእዝት ("lords"); p. 107.

መሬት ("earth", "dust of the ground") p. 231
ሀገር ("city", [district, country... ] p. 286.

ማኅበር ("association", "congregation"); p. 294.
ማኅበራን ("associates", "colleagues") p.294.

ሕቡር = "coloured" p. 236.
ዘሕብር = "speckled"; p. 470
ዘሕብረ ጸዐዳ = "spotted with white"; p. 470
ዘሕብረ ሐመድ = "ash-coloured" . p. 470.

Ye Oromo Hizb na Ye Amara Hizb and lay seteru men lebalu new? Hizboch aydelem?

I think the word peoples is as such grammatically not incorrect.

A set is a collection of elements, as such it is a plural in meaning (more than 1). Of course there is also an empty set and a set of just 1 element.

People is a collection of individuals, as such a set of individuals. But we can have many different sets. Yes we say the American people, the Ethiopian people, the Brazilian people. But if we want to refer to all of them at once then I thought we say the American, the Ethiopian and the Brazilian Peoples. What should be wrong with that?

There are the Oromo people, there are the Amhara people, the Guraghe people and these are peoples of Ethiopia and can be called together part of the Ethiopian People. That is why we call the Ethiopian Peoples (here we are reffering to the different sets, not the whole set at once.

Well, both English and Amharic are my second and third lanuages respectively, still it seems to me that there is some confusion here.

My orientation is this: a set is a collection, and there can be many different sets. I think it is grammatically not correct to say many different people instead of different peoples.
