I suggest either deleting the entry or changing the definition to "Geʽez; Classical Ethiopic" (in which case sai1 should be changed to sai4).

The article

is linked with the following Chinese Wp article:
吉茲語
(重新導向自埃塞俄比亞語)

Ethiopia is a multilingual country with over 80 languages spoken. The most widely spoken and official working language at the federal level is Amharic. However, other major languages include Oromo, Tigrinya, Somali, and Afar, among many others.

The Ethiopian constitution allows regional states to designate their own official languages, so some regions use languages like Oromo (Oromia), Tigrinya (Tigray), and Somali (Somali Region) for official purposes.

The term 埃塞俄比亚语 (Āisài'ébǐyà yǔ) is not a precise linguistic term, but it is sometimes used informally in Chinese to refer to the languages spoken in Ethiopia. Since Ethiopia is a multilingual country, this term could ambiguously refer to Amharic (阿姆哈拉语), which is the federal working language, or to Ethiopian languages in general.

If you see 埃塞俄比亚语 in a text, it’s best to check the context to determine whether it refers specifically to Amharic or Ethiopian languages as a whole.
