Ge'ez (Ethiopic)

The Ge'ez abugida of Ethiopia and Eritrea, where each consonant base combines with 7 vowel forms to produce ~300 basic signs. Derived from the South Arabian Sabaean script (6th century BC), the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible — which includes deuterocanonical books absent from Protestant and Catholic canons — is recorded in this script. Emperor Haile Selassie corresponded diplomatically in this script, and it is considered sacred by the Rastafari movement.
