'''Geʽez''' ({{lang-langx|gez|ግዕዝ|Gəʽəz}}, {{IPA|gez|ˈɡɨʕɨz|IPA|Ge'ez.ogg}}) is a script used as an [[abugida]] (alphasyllabary) for several [[Afroasiatic languages|Afro-Asiatic]] and [[Nilo-Saharan languages|Nilo-Saharan]] languages of [[Ethiopia]] and [[Eritrea]]. It originated as an [[abjad]] (consonantal alphabet) and was first used to write the [[Geʽez language]], now the [[liturgical language]] of the [[Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church]], the [[Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church]], the [[Eritrean Catholic Church]], the [[Ethiopian Catholic Church]], and [[Haymanot]] [[Judaism]] of the [[Beta Israel]] Jewish community in Ethiopia. In the languages [[Amharic]] and [[Tigrinya language|Tigrinya]], the script is often called '''''{{transliteration|sem|fidäl}}''''' ({{lang|gez|ፊደል}}), meaning "script" or "letter". Under the [[Unicode Standard]] and [[ISO 15924]], it is defined as '''Ethiopic''' text.
