As for subsaharan Africa, Classical Ethiopic, or [[Ge’ez]], is the oldest continuous writing tradition with surviving manuscripts dating to c. 300 BCE (e.g. the [[Garima Gospels]]). Older than Ge’ez are the literary traditions of Moroe and Nubia, though much of their writing does not survive to present day.
Arabic has dominated as the most widely used classical language throughout Africa, though notable pockets of independent literary traditions developed in places such as [[Harar]] and many pockets of West Africa in languages such as [[Fula]] and [[Manding]]. The use of the Arabic script was common among these traditions and, within the African context, is known as [[Ajami script]].
