Which languages was not integated in geez?

It's not entirely accurate to say that languages were "integrated" into Ge'ez. Ge'ez itself is a language, and it is a Semitic language with its own distinct structure and vocabulary.

However, Ge'ez served as a literary and liturgical language for various cultures in the Horn of Africa. This means:

* It influenced other languages: Ge'ez vocabulary and grammar impacted the development of languages like Amharic, Tigrinya, and Tigré, which are classified as Ethio-Semitic languages. These languages borrowed significantly from Ge'ez.

* It was used for writing: Ge'ez script was adopted by these languages to write their own literature and religious texts.

Therefore, it's not a matter of integrating other languages *into* Ge'ez. Instead, Ge'ez served as a source of influence on other languages in the region, impacting their vocabulary, grammar, and writing systems.

If you want to understand which languages were most heavily influenced by Ge'ez, you should look at the Ethio-Semitic language family, which includes languages like Amharic, Tigrinya, and Tigré.
