Ethiopian is not a language. This is text in the Ge'ez script, also known as Fidel and Abugida, and known by Unicode as "Ethiopic text", however there is no Ethiopian language. The script is rather used to write languages such as Amharic and Tigrinya, spoken in both Ethiopia and Eritrea.

Call me pedantic but I just think it's an important distinction to make, that the script is also used in Eritrea and that Ethiopia has way more than one national language, only some of which are written in the Ge'ez script.
