Indigenous Language Libraries

The preservation of Ethiopia's traditional written language is of paramount importance, as it serves as a vital link to the nation's rich cultural, historical, and intellectual heritage. The Ge'ez script, an ancient system that has been the cornerstone of Ethiopian civilization for millennia, embodies the wisdom, religious texts, and literary achievements of the Ethiopian people. By safeguarding this unique language, we ensure the continuity of Ethiopia's profound contributions to world history, including its religious manuscripts, legal texts, and poetic traditions. Moreover, the preservation of Ge'ez and other indigenous languages fosters a sense of national identity and pride, connecting future generations to their roots while maintaining a vital connection with the broader cultural and linguistic diversity of the Horn of Africa. In an increasingly globalized world, upholding Ethiopia's traditional written language becomes essential not only for cultural preservation but also for the promotion of linguistic diversity and respect for ancient intellectual traditions.
