What is a Defective Script or Writing System? The Semitic Languages Arabic, Aramaic, and Hebrew
มุมมอง 742หลายเดือนก่อน
A defective writing system is a type of orthography or script that lacks a one-to-one correspondence between phonemes (sounds) and graphemes (written symbols). This mismatch means that certain sounds in the spoken language may not have a dedicated symbol in the writing system, or the system may have ambiguities where one symbol can represent multiple sounds. Arabic, Aramaic, and Hebrew are cons...

Akkadian TAXES in the Book of Ezra - Aramaic Bible Study Ezra 4:20

We find Akkadian taxation terms the Aramaic portions of the book of Ezra. The books of Ezra and Daniel contain portions written in a Mesopotamian dialect of Aramaic that is commonly referred to as "Biblical Aramaic." As this dialect emerges from Mesopotamian administration, it is fitting that a number of administrative terms from Akkadian entered into the Aramaic as it was used by Assyrian, Bab...

    The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church was founded in 328 AD, and the first bishop was a Syrian man named Frumentius. The Syriac Orthodox Church's seven sacraments include baptism, confession, holy communion, marriage, ordination, unction, and chrismatio So did you think the Ethiopians bible wouldn’t going to be the same language like old versions of Syriac and similar with the Modern Syrian language ????? ???? ????

    I appreciate for the interest in comparing both ancient languages. Even though Ge’ez is Semitic like you said, I believe , the language prior to Ge’ez which is called ‘Sabwian’ Sabaian has to do with the unrelated words you have found in the particular prayer. This my opinion but there are language experts in Ge’ez who can give an explanation as to where these words origin from. This video is actually motivating me to read and search more about Ge’ez and Aramaic.

    There is no language called Ethiopia. This is colonial misleading effort. Ethiopia has a dozen languages from dozens of ethnicity. He means Amharic, or tigregna. Which are not majority in terms of population. So to say Ethiopic what this guy is reading, which is Amharic is misleading
