Today, Geʻez remains only as the main language used in the liturgy of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, the Ethiopian Catholic Church, and the Beta IsraelJewish community. However, in Ethiopia Amharic (the main lingua franca of modern Ethiopia) or other local languages, and in Eritrea and Tigray Region in Ethiopia, Tigrigna may be used for sermons. Tigrigna and Tigre are closely related to Geʻez with at least four different configurations proposed. Some linguists do not believe that Geʻez constitutes the common ancestor of modern Ethiopian languages, but that Geʻez became a separate language early on from some hypothetical, completely unattested language, and can thus be seen as an extinct sister language of Tigre and Tigrinya. The foremost Ethiopian experts such as Amsalu Aklilu point to the vast proportion of inherited nouns that are unchanged, and even spelled identically in both Geʻez and Amharic (and to a lesser degree, Tigrinya).

GEEZ PART 3 PRONOUNCIATION
Ge'ez (Ge'ez: ግዕዝ, Gəʿəz) (also known as Ethiopic) is a script used as an abugida (alphasyllabary) for several languages of Ethiopia and Eritrea. It originated as an abjad (consonant-only alphabet) and was first used to write Ge'ez, now the liturgical language of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church. In Amharic and Tigrinya, the script is often called fidäl (ፊደል), meaning "script" or "alphabet".
The Ge'ez script has been adapted to write other, mostly Semitic, languages, particularly Amharic in Ethiopia, and Tigrinya in both Eritrea and Ethiopia. It is also used for Sebatbeit, Me'en, and most other languages of Ethiopia. In Eritrea it is used for Tigre, and it has traditionally been used for Blin, a Cushitic language. Tigre, spoken in western and...

Ge'ez: Book of Enoch, Chapter 85 : 1 - 7
This video was made, to show you Classical Ethiopian (Ge'ez).
Although quite tricky to pronounce, I used a conservative Semitic pronunciation of Ge'ez, which differs from the liturgical pronunciation taught and used today (this liturgical Ge'ez merged some letters).
These are the differences:
ዐ is pronounced like Arabic 'Ayn (ع), and not like አ (like Arabic Hamza) as in liturgical Ge'ez.
ኀ and ሐ are pronounced like Arabic Kha (خ) and Ḥa (ح), and not like ሀ (h) as in liturgical Ge'ez.
ሠ (ś) is pronounced like "sh", and not like ሰ (s) as in liturgical Ge'ez. It corresponds to Arabic Shin (ش) and Classical Hebrew Śin (שׂ).
ፀ is the emphatic version of ሠ, thus it is pronounced like modern Ethiopian ጨ, not like ጸ.
The accent of words is based on the accent rules of Arabic.

Ge'ez (Ge'ez: ግዕዝ, Gəʿəz) (also known as Ethiopic) is a script used as an abugida (alphasyllabary) for several languages of Ethiopia and Eritrea. It originated as an abjad (consonant-only alphabet) and was first used to write Ge'ez, now the liturgical language of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church. In Amharic and Tigrinya, the script is often called fidäl (ፊደል), meaning "script" or "alphabet".
The Ge'ez script has been adapted to write other, mostly Semitic, languages, particularly Amharic in Ethiopia, and Tigrinya in both Eritrea and Ethiopia. It is also used for Sebatbeit, Me'en, and most other languages of Ethiopia. In Eritrea it is used for Tigre, and it has traditionally been used for Blin, a Cushitic language. Tigre, spoken in western and northern Eritrea, is considered to resemble Ge'ez more than do the other derivative languages.[citation needed] Some other languages in the Horn of Africa, such as Oromo, used to be written using Ge'ez, but have migrated to Latin-based orthographies.
The Book of Enoch (also 1 Enoch;[1] Ge'ez: መጽሐፈ ሄኖክ mätṣḥäfä henok) is an ancient Jewish religious work, ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah, although modern scholars estimate the older sections (mainly in the Book of the Watchers) to date from about 300 BC, and the latest part (Book of Parables) probably to the first century BC.[2]

The text read out in this video is from the Book of Enoch, an apocalyptic book found only in the Ethiopian bible canon today. The book is about Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah who receives different visions and learns about the end of time.
In this chapter, he tells his son Metuselah about a dream-vision, in which he saw the history of mankind from creation to the future represented by animals. The verses 1 till 7 are about Adam and Eve and Cain murdering Abel.

The foremost Ethiopian experts such as Amsalu Aklilu point to the vast proportion of inherited nouns that are unchanged, and even spelled identically in both Geʻez and Amharic (and to a lesser degree, Tigrinya).
