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.

Arabic 100% Amharic 0% Tigrinya 15% Hebrew 1% Aramic : 20% Tigre : 75% (WOW!) Maltese : 5% (too fast maybe) I decided to learn hebrew after this since I want to know one more semetic language besides my native one

I really doubt whether Amharic is semitic. I am convinced that it is NOT! It lacks glottal plosive.

[@TheTamarolla]

It has a lot of words in common with Hebrew, Arabic and Tigrinya and, I am sure, with other semitic languages as well. It's pronunciation is different, but it is definitely a semitic language 😊

I had heard that the pronunciation of Hebrew was not the real one. It was European Jews who revived hebrew at the creation of Israel in order to create an Israeli identity. Except that the pronunciation is a pronunciation of Europeans trying to speak a Semitic language. As a result, this pronunciation remained and even the jews of arabic country who were Arabic speaking took over the Askhenazi pronunciation of Hebrew to integrate into the new state because not only had the Ashkenazim created Israel but they dominated politically, economically and culturally.

[@ronshlomi582]

What do you mean “real one”? Before Zionism became an organized ideology at the turn of the 19th century, most of the 40,000 Jewish immigrants since the 1840s were not from Europe, but many from the middle east and north Africa. The modern Hebrew accent doesn’t perfectly match anyone’s accent when reciting Biblical Hebrew, but is rather a mix of the accents which developed while Jews from different countries interacted with one another.

[@kalyaamirouche6009]

@@ronshlomi582 I mean that those who brought Hebrew back were Jewish Europeans who spoke Yiddish. The pronunciation of modern Hebrew is a "European" pronunciation. The other Jewish communities, by integrating into Israel, have adopted this pronunciation

[@ronshlomi582]

@@kalyaamirouche6009 The reviver of the Hebrew language, Eliezer Ben Yehuda, actually wanted people to use the more Spanish and Arabic influenced pronunciation as he found it more beautiful than his native pronunciation. Additionally, yiddish in most places used a flapped r sound, except for Poland. If you listened to old radio and music in Hebrew they would have been using a flapped r sound as well.

Not to mention they used arabic to try and authenticate their language and seem more middle eastern…

Maltese is an arabic dialect close to maghrebi arabic and not a different semitic language like the other ones shown in the video.

It's a descendant of the Phoenician language and it's not mutually intelligible with any Arabic dialect.

[@raegitano6345]

Aramaic is been spoken with an Arabic accent that's why it sounds too much like Arabic.

[@yassineanassine7905]

So you want it to sound european like modern Hebrew and Maltese.

I was about to say, this guy's accent is very Arabized, I don't think Aramaic is his first language.

What's "modern Hebrew" doing there? I thought this video is about real semitic languages? Not fake artificial ones

[@prn_97_]

hebrew is older than arabic

[@seeyouchump]

​@@prn_97_ First of all Arabic is at least 3000 years old and probably as old as Hebrew. It's just there are not so many written records or inscriptions, since it was mostly spoken by nomads. Second of all I was referring to "modern Hebrew", not biblical Hebrew or mizrahi Hebrew. The modern AshkeNAZI hebrew sounds like a half French/half German guy doing a bad Arabic impression. 😂 It doesn't sound remotely semitic

Doesn’t resemble Yiddish in the slightest what do you mean? Yiddish is an Indo European language of the Germanic branch modern Hebrew was created from combing Liturgical Hebrew with Arabic

[@user-zc2ek1sq2h]

You shouldn't have added new hebrew. It is an artificial language which was created by imperialists. There was no "Hebrew" language in Palestine hundred years ago. The different East African languages, Amharic, Tigriniya and Tigre as well as Maltese and Aramaic (which ever dialect it was) were however interesting.

Hebrew is a Semitic language no matter your stupid political indoctrinations

[@user-zc2ek1sq2h]

Sure Hebrew was a Semitic language in the Ancient Middle East. So-called "New Hebrew" is an artificial language made by settlers who weren't in the Middle East before. And it doesn't sound very Semitic.

[@AvrahamYairStern]

@@user-zc2ek1sq2h what about Mizrakhi Jews who speak Hebrew the same way as the ancient language? How do you explain that
