We, the Ethiopians and Friends of Ethiopia, are appealing to UNESCO to recognize the Geez language and Geez Writing System as world heritage. The Geez language and writing system are integral parts of our cultural heritage, and we believe that they are worthy of recognition and protection.
Geez is the language of the Ethiopian people, and it is deeply intertwined with our history, religion, society, and civilization. The language has been used to record the fundamental narrative of our culture, including our religious beliefs, social norms, and historical events. Volumes of books have been written in Geez, covering a wide range of topics, from history and religion to literature and art.
Furthermore, translations of Geez texts into other languages have been used to testify to the creation of man, his nature, and the universe he lives in. This demonstrates the universal value of the language and its importance in the world's cultural heritage.
Ethiopia speaks Geez and uses it for time reckoning and as a memory of human achievement over the last few centuries. Geez is an integral part of our cultural identity and has been used to document our people's great achievements in art, architecture, literature, and medicine.
In addition, the Geez writing system is unique and has led to the emergence of a sophisticated writing system that can be used for any language writing in the world. This system is an essential contribution to the world's cultural heritage and deserves recognition.
In conclusion, we believe that the Geez language and Geez Writing System are integral parts of the world's cultural heritage and should be recognized as such. Their inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List would help protect and preserve these important aspects of our cultural heritage for generations to come. We urge UNESCO to consider our appeal and take action to recognize the Geez language and Geez Writing System as world heritage.

Sincerely,

Abebe Kebede, on behalf of
Ethiopians and Friends of Ethiopia
