As an Arabic native speaker from Saudi Arabia, I anticipated a higher level of comprehension for Hebrew or Aramaic, given their classification as ancient Semitic languages. However, surprisingly, the only language I found myself understanding to a greater extent was Tigre!

[@JohnDough-ve9uv]

لا Tigre وتطيح ترى تندم يا وررررع.

With Hebrew, I believe you will recognize many words once you hear them separately. As a Hebrew speaker I also can't understand Arabic being spoken in real time, but once I look at a sentence word by word I can sometimes make out the general meaning. If you're interested in the similarities between them I recommend Bahador Alast's channel!

Modern Hebrew differs significantly from Biblical Hebrew. it is a newly created language, developed by Eliezer Ben-Yehuda (his real name: Eliezer Yitzhak Perlman) to revive the ancient one, and used by Zionists to establish a unified language for settlers coming from different parts of the world and speaking various languages. and if the Zionist project fails, Modern Hebrew will cease to exist

Hebrew doesn’t really have dialects, since the region where people speak it is small and centralized. The only exception to this is Ashkenazi Haredim, who speak it with a noticeable Yiddish accent because they aren’t socialized like normal Israelis. There are also different pronunciations for bible reading, but this is more religious than linguistic. Yemenite Jews who pronounce the Bible differently will switch to standard Hebrew in normal conversation.

Should have included different dialects of Arabic, they sound quite different from one another.

[@dsp6373]

Should have included Darija, aka Moroccan Arabic “dialect”, and other Arabs would have understood it just as they understand Aramaic. 😂 The reality is that the some of the “dialects” of Arabic are themselves languages in their own right. Also, Hebrew should have had two samples, one from Mizrahi speakers and one from non-Mizrahi speakers. The Mizrahi pronunciation has all the Semitic sounds intact. Non-Mizrahi Hebrew is affected by European phonology like Maltese. Maltese is Semitic language greatly affected by Italian, while non-Mizrahi (standard Israeli) Hebrew is greatly affected by not only Yiddish-German, but also by Ladino-Spanish, Russian, etc.

[@waverunner7063]

While that is true, all news is broadcast in standardized Arabic. All Arabs understand that form regardless what dialect they speak.

As a Spanish-speaker from the Southern Cone of South America, I can understand most of the Romance words in Maltese and guess by context the general idea of what he is talking about (the conversion to libra esterlina from American, Canadian and Australian dollar, something of the Bank of La Valletta, and the very Arabic "salam aleikun"). The rest are obviously fully unintelligible; after all, Semitic is a branch in a completely different language family from my own.

[@HolaBruv]

​@@tadikebede Yes because Tigre was the oldest version of accent from Geez then came Tigringna Amharic came the latest That's why to a Tigringna speaker it's easy to listen and speak both Amharic and Tigre languages being in between the two but to go from Amharic to Tigrayit language that's hard

For Tigrinya You used the Tigrayan Dialect from Tigray which is in Ethiopia I can tell because the accent throws me off, Tigrinya Language is Eritrean in origin just like Geez and Eritrean Tigirnya is considered the better Dialect and the much better Accent and the Original, use Eri Tv broadcast as they have it. I couldn't even really understand the Tigray one was saying tbh and Im a Tigrinya from Eritrea the accent is so different now I understand what Eritrean people talk about when they talk about the Tigray accent it sounds alot less clear then ours.

A notable feature retained in all languages except Hebrew and Maltese (?): distinct PRODUCTION of emphatic consonants. They are most audible in Amharic, namely consonants that have a interrupting/breaking like effect on them. You can hear a difference between sa and s'a (where ' is the interruption). In Arabic however, they are realised by pharyngealisation or velarisation - they normally cause the following vowel to be darker than with a plain consonant.
