Nice lopsided explanation. The reason it’s S and not SH is because Hebrew and Aramaic are mumbled pidgins. They have no S at all. Just Sh, same with the kh snort sound without the h like I’m Arabic.

Or the more correct explanation is that Semitic languages spoken by people of actual civilisations evolve faster than languages spoken by inconsequential Arabian desert primitives. Have you noticed how Arabic has to reuse multiple letters for different sounds? It's because the people who developed the original alphabet didn't retain the crud that was not required, unlike the Arabians.

I believe Arabic actually retains its original sound of consonants ث س ش, where as Hebrew uses ש to represent all three Arabic consents, which causes the readers to only pronounce Sh for all three different sounds as can be seen in the example of Arabic Sitta and Thalatha in Hebrew Shesh and Shalosh.

@@nabatean180 so does Arabic, it’s a Dialectal issue rather than giving its full Actual right to that Individual Letter for e.g if you have noticed in ق suppose to be Q sound rather than G or K sound or ج suppose to be J sound rather G, or ك suppose to be K sound rather than Kh خ sound, as can be noticed in Ethiopian / Hebrew / Aramaic languages. so there are many factors at play which causes the Actual right of that letter-sound to deflect from its place, dialectal issue, easiness of the tongue, Foreigners influence on those letters etc. that is why I remember when I was learning Arabic at young age, my teacher was very much keen on focusing the right pronunciation of Arabic letters and words.

The letters س and ش have definitely changed over time, Arabic has lost the consonant ɬ and it is believed that originally س was pronounced as ʃ and ش as ɬ but there was a sound shift over time.

So Hebrew has Shesh, interestingly enough Sanskrit has Shat. Would be interesting if Indo-European languages are a part of Afro-Asiatic only, or vice-versa.
@megasupreme99852 жыл бұрын
I've noticed this too There were some old theories that Proto-Indo-European and Proto-Afro-Asiatic are related, but they have since been widely rejected. It's likely that when the Indo-Europeans migrated southward, they came into contact with the Afro-Asiatic peoples, and both influenced one another. The original PIE word for six was Sueks The original PAA word for six would likely have been something like Shidis or Sidis Keep in mind, PIE is relatively quite recent in relation to PAA. PAA appeared around twelve to eighteen thousand years ago, while PIE appeared around seven thousand years ago.

@megasupreme99852 жыл бұрын
@@TheSdzfr It depends. Two languages in contact with one another won't necessarily merge into one single language. With English for example, while tons of words for this Germanic language began to be borrowed from the Romance languages Latin and French, the two never truly merged as one. English generally stayed the same in the way of grammar and core vocabulary. There may be some estimate out there for the minimum amount of time it *could* take, but I am not aware of any.

@@megasupreme9985 But if people can merge, why can't languages. I sometimes Imagine an alternative history (alternative, not real), scenario, where Indo-Europeans migrated southwards completely and Niger-Congo moved northwards, slowly and steadily these two families engulfed Afro-Asiatic as the races interbred and new languages arose. The Indo-European language family engulfs the Asiatic section and Niger-Congo engulfs Afro section. Perhaps that way, Berber and Cuschitic would be Niger-Congo and Semitic would be Indo-European in this alternate dimension. Imagine if a language called "Arabic/Arabian" is spoken like Persian, Greek and Latin hybrid in the Peninsular deserts. They aren't Loanwords but Words in general. Most of them and the grammar similar to PIE, however certain parts of PAA survives in all of them. How will it sound like? Perhaps not too dissimilar to modern Spanish, English, etc. We would have one language family less, but languages equal to what is there in the modern scenario.

Relatively recently I've come across a source that offers a more detailed explanation than the one I'd previously given you. It goes like this: "It appears somewhat likely that six and seven were both early wanderworts. Proto-Indo-European: swéḱs septḿ̥ (or possibly kswéḱs?) Proto-Semitic: šidṯ šabʕ (šabʕatum in feminine) Egyptian: yVssá sáfḫa Etruscan: śa semph (or huth semph) Basque: sei zazpi Proto-Kartvelian: ekʂwi šwidi Hurrian: šeše šinti (Note that most of those listed as š, except Kartvelian, were probably all /s/). Proto-Semitic and PIE are especially close with 7, while PIE and Kartvelian are extremely close with 6 (especially Indo-Iranian, which has evidence of an initial *k throughout the family). Some others don't appear so close, and some may be chance resemblance, but at least a few appear to have been very early borrowings." I will also add that the V in Egyptian yVssá represents an unknown vowel, rather than an actual v-sound. A wanderwort is basically a word that has spread across the world into various unrelated languages through contact with one another. Another example would be the English word for 'orange', which originally was from a Dravidian language like Tamil 'nāram'. It was then borrowed into Sanskrit (nāraṅga), then Persian (nârang), then Arabic (nāranj), then Italian (arancia), then French (orenge), and finally into English. These languages are from three completely different language families, and yet share the same word. It's not coincidence, but it's also not because they share a common ancestor; it's because they share geographic proximity and interact with each other via trade.

@@darkkiller9996 I'm just going to leave this here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_languages If you scroll down a little bit (to the 2nd picture, that shows a chronology of Semitic languages), you will see that (ancient) Hebrew is more than 1,000 years older than Arabic. It's not even close. Also, the Hebrew alphabet was influenced by the Pheonicians, not by Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
