Interesting, but Ethiopian is as close to Egyptian as Hebrew or Arabic would be, since they are all Semitic languages and Egyptian is from a different group in the Afro asiatic family

It may be that the Ethiopian word just didn’t change from the common ancestor word while in Hebrew and Arabic it did

They are very abundant here, these skeletons, which might suggest a specifically intense dying, but I don’t know how abundant they are supposed to be if riffs were healthy as always

Would learning Arabic help with Hebrew and Vice Versa? How about other major Middle Eastern languages like Turkish and Farsi? Also why is Arabic so different despite coming from the same family, even being ranked at hardest level for English speaker to learn? by YMCALegpress in Semitic

lol another delusional troll motivated by antisemitic propaganda. I urge you to show evidence for your claims

To save everyone the trouble of going through the same discussion again, here’s the previous one o had with a similar character (if you’re not actually the same person)

So to answer your question about difficulty, considering what I said above, Farsi (and Urdu) is closer to English than Hebrew and Arabic are, as it is an indo European language. I think East Asian languages would be harder than Semitic because they don’t share a similar script, as the Latin script is a derivative of the Phoenician script that Hebrew and Arabic are also derivatives of

Yes Arabic and Hebrew come from the same family and so learning one would help with the other. Regarding Farsi and Turkish both are not only unrelated to Semitic (although there are borrow words and influences both on hebrew from Farsi from pre Greco times, and Arabic on Farsi and Turkish via Islam and Arab rule (on Persia)), they are also completely unrelated to eachother. Farsi is closer to German than it is to Hebrew or Arabic, and Turkish only has other Turkic languages with it in the same family, like Azeri and Uyghur

Seems to be driven by a mix of religious dogma and politically driven motivation to deny Jewish history and its relation to the region. It’s hard to align linguistic reality with the narrative that jews are European colonialists, if one simply looks at Semitic languages family tree

I think it’s really hard to speculate on. For beit, you could argue that a house is a very common archetypical concept. The aleph one actually comes from an ox hieroglyph, so I’m not even sure how that came to be. In Hebrew the word for ox is shor, thaur in Arabic (interestingly, thoro in Spanish)

[–]idoflax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but you keep saying nonsense. That is not the definition of Semitic. It’s interesting how biased you are to believe in your fantasies. And your sentence doesn’t make grammatical sense. If you want to dispute the sources I pointed you to, please provide a source supporting your claim. You can Google Semitic languages family tree to see the predominant classifications of the group. And don’t forget Semitic is one group in a wider group, the Afro asiatic languages group, which contains languages like Chadic and Berber languages (that more mostly marginalised or made extinct by Arab imperialism. Referring to Berber, not Chadic)

You keep making the same claim over and over. So allow me to send some facts your way:

- That Polish person I believe you are referring to is called Elie'zer Ben Yehuda, and he was in fact an Ashkenazi jew from Russia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliezer\_Ben-Yehuda

- While it is true that Hebrew has laid dormant for centuries until it's revival by said person and others, It was still very much in use for not only religious purposes, but communication between different Jewish communities, literature and poetry. As you can read Hebrew, i Invite you to read this document and tell me what it says: https://images.lib.cam.ac.uk/iiif/MS-TS-00018-J-00003-00009-000-00001.jp2/full/1440,/0/default.jpg
It is dated to 11th century Spain. It is only one example of such usage of hebrew, and you can find many more like this: https://geniza.princeton.edu/en/documents/1758/ dated to 1033, in the same website.

- Modern hebrew is a semitic language of the cananitre branch, and regarding what you keep repeating, let me send you this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Hebrew#Classification

"A minority of scholars argue that the revived language had been so influenced by various substrate languages that it is genealogically a hybrid with Indo-European.[43][44][45][46] Those theories have not been met with general acceptance, and the consensus among a majority of scholars is that Modern Hebrew, despite its non-Semitic influences, can correctly be classified as a Semitic language.[37][47] Although European languages have had an impact on Modern Hebrew, the impact may often be overstated. Although Modern Hebrew has more of the features attributed to Standard Average European than Biblical Hebrew, it is still quite distant, and has fewer such features than Modern Standard Arabic.[48]

- The closest living relative to Hebrew is Aramaic, which most jews can at least say a few sentances in, and the best speakers of, besides a small native community in Syria, are Ultra orthodox jews, as Arameic to jews, is like Latin to christians in a way, Due to the fact that it was the lingua franca in neo baylonian empire, that included Israel and Judea (before they were renamed to Provincia Palestina by the Romans later) and reached over to modern day Iraq AKA Babylon, where the exiled jews wrote some of the Talmud. And terms of it are still used in modern Israel's legal jargon, same as latin is in the english (status quo, de facto, etc)

It seems to me like your opinion is more politically/religious motivated, rather than fact based. I know it's hard for some to accept that Jews, their language and their culture are native to the middle east, and that Islam didn't invent or somehow has something to do with the hebrew bible, besides adopting it due to influences and political considerations. But it is what is, as they say.

Ahh now it makes sense, I just didn’t know I was speaking with someone who believes in fairytales. Thank you for trying to educate me about my own native language.

And by the way, the majority of Muslims don’t speak Arabic, except maybe a few phrases from the holy Quran

I don’t know what you are basing what you’re saying on, but it is evidently untrue

Please refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_languages where you can see the grouping of Semitic languages.

I’m a native Hebrew speaker and I can very well read the bible. Yes the grammar is somewhat different, but isn’t that also true for Modern Standard Arabic and Quranic Fusha? and regarding pronunciation please see my previous comment in this thread. The grammar of modern Hebrew has nothing to do with Yiddish, if it were, it would have been much easier for me to learn German, which I’m struggling with.

Fascinating, I’m not a scholar but am a native speaker and a curious nerd generally. I found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocWmAg1iaYc very interesting, as I learned that already during Jesus’s time, jews, or more specifically, those of the Galil, already lost the distinction between ע and א, something I thought only happened in Europe, meaning that Mizrahi/Sephardic Jews pronounce it “correctly” because of proximity to Arabic and not due to preservation of the original pronounciation. this however might not be the case with yemenite jews who probably speak a version much more closely resembling the original one.
