That depends on the alphabet used by each language. The Maltese Alphabet has V and P for example.

17:26 how it is successfully revived if modern hebrew is like a Frankenstein creature, it is an invention in fact or fabrication, the zioNAZī did put Semitic languages with yiddish which is germanic in a blinder and voilà. They claimed it was revived. No. It is not. Beside is it Palestine. For your information, Phoenicians are Canaanites and Canaanites are Arabs, so they spoke Arabic.

For my ears yours is a precise and enjoyable pronunciation. Have been waiting for something like this. Two questions: In the Semitic languages today 'Sade' is a guttural 's' sound produced farther back in the mouth, but you pronounce it as 'tsade', is there evidence for it? Your 'k' and 't' sound aspirated, 'kh', 'ph', what is the rationale behind it? It reminds me of Germanic phonetics to it, e.g. in the way 'd' and 't' are pronounced. I was very pleased to hear a good pronuncation of chet and ayin missed by modern Hebrew speakers and anglophone bible experts alike. Thanks!

Guttural s is a very broad term. There are different pronunciation for the letter "sad(e)" in current Semitic languages. Compare the pharyngealized pronunciation in Arabic to the glottalized pronunciation in Tigrinya. There is evidence that the glottalized pronunciation was very common in older Semitic languages such as Akkadian.

Very insightful video, finally a good introduction to this vast language family. The case of Afro-Asiatic numbers makes me wonder. It is possible that some Afro-Asiatic branches have assimilated numbers from other, now extinct languages that existed before them and hence such a strange variety? After all it's possible even for an entire language family to replace its native number system with a foreign one (like for example it was the case with majority of Kra-Dai languages). Maybe, for example, Beja numbers came from an otherwise unattested substratum language spoken by a population that has been linguistically assimilated by proto-Beja/Medya? Just a guess.

First, i want to thank you for explaining the history and the old phonology of my mother language. Your explanation was nearly perfect, so well done. Second, I just wanted to mention that in some NENA (north-eastern neo-aramaic) dialacts the (š) sound is still used instead of (th) sound and some of the dialacts like my dialact (which is baz dialact) we use (y) or (h) sounds. For example... in syriac betha or beta means house. some people in tyari region call it besha, in baz dialact we call it bayya. in syriac, thillan or tillan means (we came)... the tyari people say shillan and we say hillan. There are other dialacts that use (s) sound instead of (š) sound. So betha becomes besa.

I propose to rename the word Semitic to “Shemitic”. Not named after the mythological character “Shem”, but rather to be named after the land of “Shem” which is the name of the levant, or the land spanning from the eastern coast of the Mediterranean sea to Mesopotamia. This name is still in use until today in Arabic languages as “بلاد الشام" Bilaad Esh-Shaam, or the land of the Shaam, which is another pronunciation of Shem. It is after the name of this land that the mythological character “Shem” was created to function as a paternal figure for the peoples of this land, rather than the other way around.
@amr-______-2040
@amr-______-2040 4 ай бұрын
To many syrians, palestineans, jordanians and lebanese who call their land the land of Shaam, the name “Shaam” has nothing to do with biblical or islamic prophets or mythical figures. It is purely the name of a geographical area.
@amr-______-2040
@amr-______-2040 4 ай бұрын
To call them “Shemitic” languages it makes clear that these are languages that originated in the land of Shem, regardless of mythology. Yes not all shemitic languages are spoken solely in Shem, but this is most probably where they originated. More likely than the Arabian or Ethiopian Urheimat hypotheses for many reasons.

Languages are evolving. This evolution leads to differences. So it's like languages are drifting apart over time. This means the further you go back in time, the more similar they are. But there are also cases where languages become more similar due to contact and mutual exchange. That's for example why Amharic has some similarities to Cushitic languages like Agaw. Both have been in contact for a long time and the lexicon and grammatical structure have influenced each other.

It seems like Himyarite is just the Arabic term for something that was still spoken in Yemen in the Middle Ages that was not perceived as Arabic.

Semantic is a Farsi word زن مالک (zan-maallek) which means OWNERSHIP of WOMEN. It is the Ideology of yahoodi (یار جویی means male friend seeker or prostitution) Arabs and Jew Arabs. This ideology has given the right to men selling their wife as sex slave for food or exchange them for water and land use. In other words this was the law made by pimps (sex and child traffickers) to get wealth by selling their women and children. Zion is "زن یاب zan-yaab" means "women finder", they are the ones that deceive the women to sell themselves and their children to traffickers and pimps.

From some shallow research, I have understood that in Eastern Syriac, ܦ is pronounced as an ‘f’ sound at the beginning of a word or in other positions such as if it is preceded by a vowel and followed by a vowel or a voiced consonant. ܦ is pronounced as a ‘w’ sound when it appears in between two vowels. I don't know if this is correct though...
