Petition: Bring Tigrinya (Ge’ez) language back to Google maps of Eritrea!

The language Tigrinya does not appear on Google maps of Eritrea. Why not? Tigrinya and Tigre are the two main languages of Eritrea spoken by over 90% of Eritrean population Tigrinya being the primary national language of Eritrea while English and Arabic languages are both considered the two main foreign working languages. In the old classic Google maps Tigrinya and English languages were rightfully used to denote all the name of places including cities, towns, roads, etc. But right now Tigrinya language has been made to disappear not only from the Google maps of Eritrea but also from the 70 plus languages that Google Inc supports.

Amanuel did you join Tigrigna Republic (Eritrea’s new name) of Fesehazion ?
Jacob Abreham October 11, 2016
Could you please make it more clear? Should someone has to be a member of Tigrigna Republic to demand a petition to put the Geez on google map? Or you are comfortable that the Eritrean map be under the representation of Arabic language in the Google map;avoiding the widely spoken and official language of the State of Eritrea? Or you are shaken and trembled by the resurrection of Tigrigna nationalism?
Lula October 11, 2016
This is a positive initiative that every Eritrean need to support. How is asking the Geeze languages of Tigre – Tigrinya to be represented for its right place in the global map to be questioned.or belittled?.
Readers should not worry about the few errant and deviants who do not want to see the Geeze letters to be on the Google map.
Every Eritrean who cares about our country, identity and all the Ghedli sacrifices to own and be proud of our own heritage need to support this.
Michael Tesfamariam October 11, 2016
Let alone a language which is spoken by less than 1% of the world population, even the country itself cannot be found on Google.
For more information, ask Tesfazion, AgazIan TV, he should be able to give you full answer.

Here we go again,I think the people who speak it are on the verge of extinction,shouldn’t we be concerned about that first? for Christ sake.
Lamek October 12, 2016
Here we go. This is a good start. It is the Tigrinya language and the people of Tigrinya that are suffering at the expense of the others. I don’t know where you people will wake up. btaemi meguahiyti zikone hizbi,

I was angry when i googled eritrean villages specially my village to see it written in arabic which is none of my village speak arabic. Look at ethiopia map proudly displaying their geez tigrnya . Who are we to be ashamed of who we are.

Yes to tigrinya and no to arabic, tigrigna for ever in Eritrea.
Any one no happy with tigrinya leave our christian tigrinya Eritrea asap.
Muhammud, go and preach about the arabic language at your mosques.

It is not about language but rather the motives behind it is the one that
bothers my mind . The so called Tigrigna defenders at expense of the suffering of their own people are shameless cowards . We have critical issues that needs attention than respond to the madness of fools that causes fire storms in our region including in Ethiopia ,
Their racist attitude against Eritreans makes you wonder about their
true identity . We Eritreans tolerate different languages including the
language of Amhara people regardless our ugly past . In fact their
attempt to divide and conquer originated by forces of Eritrean enemy .
Jacob October 12, 2016
English Is an international language. Why would one write names of his villages in Arabic? Even the 100% muslim nation of Turkey does not do that. Eritreans are not arabs. Arabic is for arabs.
AHMED SALEH !!! October 12, 2016
I don’t get suprised if an arrogant habesha criticize middle eastern orthodox church for speaking Arab language .

It is a fair petition. What we need to see is Arabic along with tigrinya. .. no English
TeAzabi October 12, 2016
You are idiot, you only know ha ha like adgi (donkey). How could you compete in the fiercely competitive world of globalization without the international language of English?
Keep your haha Arabic to yourself and we will keep English & Tigrinya in future Eritrea.
AHMED SALEH !!! October 12, 2016
Past – present – future Eritrea belongs to its children . For reminder to speak
something practical that makes a sense I advice to consider this facts .
DEKI ABAT BIHERE ERITREA are TIGRIGNA , TIGRE , SAHO , AFAR , BILEN , KUNAMA ,HIDARB and NARA .
They approved Tigrigna as national language but you want to refuse their
Arabic as second language . That is how stupid people incite violence which
will not happen in Eritrea despite haters wishes . haha haha haha

Iseyas is a product of “fear of the other” may of us suffer from.
From day one he preached “Ezon Aslam’ while many showed either indifference, tacit support or didn’t care much. It never crossed their minds, that be one day, they would the first victims of his propaganda.
In the name of defending interests of Christians, he actually, mostly killed Christians first. This may look a bit absurd but it’s the truth. And yet it’s mind boggling to see, after so much suffering, there are people who want follow another malicious Ethiopian who has nothing to lose in Eritrea. Tesfazion should be the last person whose calls for anything should be echoed here at Assenna, unless Amanuel thinks he is doing a service to Eritrea by openly instigating a civil war among people who lived side by side for hundreds of generation, with any history of animosity among them, save those instigated by foreigners like Fezahazion.
It seems we need more time under Iseyas or his system in case he leaves the stage for someone else tomorrow, while we seem totally unprepared to handle diversity. Who will suffer more ?, nobody. It’s a system we deserve: “ogni’ uno ha i capi che si merita”.
Till we learn to differentiate between salt and sugar.

I don’t expect a real eritrean to petit this way and respond to ( testa di cazzo )Tesfatsion . Language is not our problem but to be honest, we are not ware the evil thinking of HGDEF & WEYANE.
AHMED SALEH !!! October 12, 2016
It is possible intruders succeed to sneak in slowly and maneuver at our affairs .
I noticed posted articles in assenna with no name to identify the source . Some
readers might conclude the article belongs to ASSENNA staff .
I suspect that Amanuel Iyassu had dedicated support group like Saleh Johar of
AWATE.COM . to monitor the forum .
AHMED SALEH !!! October 12, 2016
pls read as ; A. Iyassu has not dedicated support …………..
