Shalom Aleikhem! This video is a bit different to how I would normally do things, but today we are going to take a look at the Semitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic languages. This is meant to be a brief overview to help you understand how we classify Semitic languages and where they all fit in together. Enjoy!

Interesting comment about whether Arabic is one language with many dialects or a collection of similar languages. When I studied Arabic thirty years ago, the instructor (Egyptian) told us that we would not be able to understand people from other countries. A colleague, also Egyptian, told me a story about his uncle, who took a teaching job in Libya. He went shopping for food and almost got punched in the mouth. The word he used means something innocuous in Egypt but it means something else in Libya.

Quick note, Chaldean Neo- Aramaic, is pronounced Kaldean. I speak this form of Aramaic, we call it Sureth Kildani. We got the Chaldean name from the Roman Catholic church when we became in communion with them. Before the split, we were Assyrian or Suraye (in Sureth). The "ch" making a k sound is similar to words like stomach, school, ache, etc.

So did I for a long time! Apart from being geographically close, they also have some surprising cognates which led me to think they were related. Technically speaking, they are related the same way Latin and Greek are related, but are different enough grammatically speaking. But it does surprise me that the Ancient Egyptian word for "water" is "Ma" and the Coptic personal pronoun is "Anok", which reminds me of "Anokhi" in Hebrew.

The root system of the semitic languages, maybe afroasiatic too but Im not that well versed in afroasiatic languages, and the preservation of such a system is something i found one of the most astonishing human accomplishments. Im a Hungarian Native, and I have learned linguistivs and a kind of root system is prevalent in all languages, even english, however semitic languages do it on a whole different level. Wish I had the time to devote to learning any of the semitic languages. Amazing content you there, hoping to see more from you! Shalom!

The root system in Semitic as we know it is specifically restricted to the Semitic branch, however similar "roots" are found in Afro-Asiatic languages, though they form no grammatical component, they are merely lexical. For example, in most Semitic languages, the word for "water" is something like "mem", in Hebrew it's "mayim" in Classical Arabic it's "mā" in Jewish Babylonian Aramaic it's "mayā" etc. In Ancient Egyptian, the word is still "mā", but it's not a "root" for all things relating to water, it's just a word.

It's an very fascinating theory, but ultimately I think it's very unlikely. Semitic and Celtic languages share some interesting grammatical features, but it appears to be mere coincidence, and there are many features that they don't share. In terms of vocabulary, they share almost nothint. Celtic languages are indisputably Indo-European in terms of vocabulary. Overall it's an interesting theory, but definitely not quite true. I'm interested to know what you mean by being able to read Welsh in Hieroglyphs?

The dual case thing has always fascinated me since I learned english as a child. I came to know that it doesn’t have duals, and it was weird to me because I am an Arab. Arabic or at least MSA and all dialects in the Levant, Peninsula, and Egypt (bc Idk about the western side of North Africa) have dual cases for everything basically. There are some scattered cases where there is no dual of a noun because it is in fact a plural only, like one of the words for women is نساء pronounced ni-sa-a (the last a is a consonant not a vowel) which is a plural but has no singular form, therefore not having a dual. Languages are so weird but they follow rules which is why I love linguistics so much

A number of observations to note: - Akkadians migrated to both mespotamia and eastern arabia. The Dilmonites in eastern arabia spoke old akkadian. - old arabic and dadanitic (lihyanite) form their own sub group within Central semitic . Instead of proto arabic, which the same as old arabic, we can talk of proto arabic-dadanitic. - both old arabic and dadanitic appeared during the iron age II. - amorite can be considered as synonymous with proto Central semitic, so that West semitic divides neatly into South semitic and amorite. -sabaic in ASA shares some features with aramaic. May be we could talk of proto sabaic-aramaic. Old south arabian is Central semitic , not south semitic. - south semitic includes not only ethiosemitic and eastern south semitic but also thamudic B, C,D. Thamudic may represent the northern branch of South semitic.

as someone who speaks tunesian arabic i think that the line between dialect and language is more of a political questiong than a linguistic one however from personal anectode i can say that mutual intelligibility is between arabic dialects (or languages) is definitely asymmetric as maghrebi speakers can understand egyptian and middle eastern dialects way better than the reverse thanks to high amounts of exposer from an early age from movies series youtubers etc (since the maghrebi youtube scene is nearly nonexistent) and also thanks to the diglossia state between dialects and msa i do admit that even as a speaker of maghrebi dialect/language of arabic i still struggle to understand moroccan (idk about mauritanian though cuz i never heard it spoken before)

The "apostrophes" are called Gershayim and they denote a whole manner of things. Usually they're used for acronyms, for example: מד"א which stands for מגן דוד אדום , using the first three letters of each word (Magen David Adom (Red Shield of David), which is Israel's main health service). In this instance however, the Gershayim is showing the root/Shoresh in the same way you might write it with periods in English. For example, the root K.R.B can either be written ק.ר.ב or שורש קר"ב when showing the root in Hebrew, utilizing the Gershayim

Modern linguistics does not recognize any linguistic difference between a "language" and a "dialect": the difference between them is political or ideological, not linguistic. Mutual intelligibility, for example, does not work as a criterion. Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish are mutually intelligible, but have the status of separate languages; while many "languages" have dialects which are not mutually intelligible (Arabic, Chinese, and Italian, for example).

That's not entirely true.

Arabic however, or it's equivalent 3,000 years ago would have not been mutually intelligible for Hebrew speakers.

Languages that were intelligible with Hebrew included Moabite, Edomite, Ammonite, Phœnician and Classical/Biblical Aramaic.

Also your claim that Modern Hebrew is Yiddishized/Ashkenazified is a little worrying, it's often an argument made my Antisemites to sort of "delegitimize" modern Jewish culture for being "too European". If you look at Hebrew, not only is it not true, but it's also incredibly insulting to Sephardic and Mizrakhi Jews who were spread about the Middle East and North Africa and brought tons of Arabic, Aramaic and Ladino words and features into the language. Modern Hebrew probably has more words from Arabic than from Yiddish, Yiddish words that are popular in Jewish-English I have found many people in Israel have never heard of. Plus, Modern Hebrew pronunciation is based off the Sephardic Liturgical Pronunciation, which preserved many of the "Semitic sounds". If you think every Hebrew speaker speaks a Yiddishized creole, when the vast majority of Jews who speak Hebrew i.e. in Israel are not even Ashkenazi Jews, then you need to research into the reality of Hebrew. I sense you may have a political bias here that you're hiding

@@greatestwithin3700 it depends on dialect/ethnolect. Speak to a Yemenite Jew, and the language will sound very ancient. I have no hate towards Arabic, however I try to present it as a factual basis for what it is - a collection of languages (not dialects!), some mutually intelligible and some not. Arabic is now in a position similar to that of Latin in the post-Roman Empire, it's just still in denial about it. Some day, Misri, Lubnaani, Darija etc. will all be recognized as languages of their own and adopted as national languages, Modern Standard Arabic is just as "artificial" as many Arabic speakers claim Hebrew is. Of course it had a basis, Classical Arabic (FusHa) just like Modern Standard Hebrew has a basis on Classical Hebrew (Biblical Hebrew), but both are modern standardized creations that over 150 years ago nobody spoke, and still today MSA has no native speakers. Wikipedia is actually on the forefront of this trend as there are articles written in Misri and Darija now, infact there are more articles on Wikipedia written in Misri than there are in MSA!!! Similarly, there is a Lubnaani (Levanese) language movement which includes the use of the Latin script instead of Arabic script. I have studied much on "Arabic" and the "dialects"/3amiyya, I am always open to learn more, but lets face the denial that Arabic speakers have and just accept the truth, no politics involved. Thus I have no hate, I just aim to create truthful discussion.

Hebrew, Ammonite, Moabite, Edomite and "Phoenician" are all actually just Hebrew, at most different dialects although there aren't enough examples of Ammonite, Moabite and Edomite to even call them different dialects to Biblical Hebrew. "Phoenician" is a nonsense term as it lumps together several different distinct groups including the Israelite tribe of Asher, Tyrians and Sidonians, Gebalites , Arvadites etc who did not actually all speak "Phoenician" by which is usually meant the Tyrian / Sidonian dialect of Hebrew (which is very similar to the dialect of the book of Ecclesiastes).

Well, it would be more accurate to say they all spoke varieties of Canaanite, not Hebrew. Even me, the most Israeli nationalist guy ever (well, without being racist) will still admit that in linguistics, Hebrew began as a dialect of Canaanite. Phoenician split off, as you can see, but it's still closely related. Another comparison would be Spanish being Canaanite, with many dialects that some argue to be languages, and Portuguese filling the role of Phoenician, being also closely related but distant enough to be its own thing.

The Amorites did speak a Semitic language but it is a different language to the language spoken by Israelites, Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Tyrians and Sidonians.

Why that happened to those 3 examples specifically? Becuase Standard Arabic is not taught in their countries, and they are not Muslim countries either, so the importance and emphasis of Standard Arabic was not significant, therefore their once dialects have drifted a lot and became separate languages. @@CheLanguages On the other hand dialects like Egyptian or Lebanese are DEFINITELY merely dialects of Arabic and not a different language, they are 100% mutually intelligible with Arabic and Arabs face no problems understanding it. You saying Arabic dialects are completely unintelligible is simply untrue. Moroccan is a harder one, it's still considered an Arabic dialect, however foreign influence and their accent is a bit harder for Middle Eastern Arabs to pick up.. it needs a bit more practice to understand, but it is still not considered a separate language (yet), for that to happen you probably need 200 more years + you need Morocco to stop teaching standard Arabic in their schools, that way the dialect will drift away and become a separate language.
