Semitic Languages Comparison 

yes real

That’s essentially what it is.

And assyrian is like a kurdish person speaking arabic

Same the Tunisian accent, it's mixture with Italian,French, Arabic, Maltese, berber, Turkish

No​@@try2justbe

Coz these are all universal words in the past couple of years 😂😂😂

Not "diblumasiya"?

@@minskdhaka I had to google it before I understood it - then I thought that I really ought to have guessed it.

Xi Jinping and China 🤣

​@@wosamosman9814guess what bro not ever person in the world speak Arabic 😱😱😱😱😱😱

I'm Ethiopian and I'm glad that you know the Amharic tongue is beautiful

Ur right it feels like a portuguese accent amazing .

@@simisimisimisimi3552inshallah god willing Cushitic speaking people will be free from Ethiopia including Somali and afar 😂😂😂 weather u like it or not

@@daviroza4700 cushitic semitic habasha different my a$$

Honestly Hebrew sounds like a mixture of German Portuguese and obviously Arabic lol

Definitely arabic with an italian accent, i can understand a lot of what he’s saying but he’s saying it so funny lol, so bouncy and clipped

Neither. It's a descendant of Phoenician with some Latin words.

Porqué no los dos

​​@@Fifi-jb3yx Maltese is a Semitic language with Italian loan words 😅

​@@magnuscorbin5040no it has nothing to do with Phoenician. Before the Arabs came the Maltese islands were deserted. Maltese descended from Siculo-Arabic with Romance influence from subsequent rulers

As an algerian, I say the same as you

Tefhem el 3arbi mch 5atrou 9rib lil darja amma 3ala 5ater 9ritou fel makteb, bel logic lou8et malta a9erbelna ebbarcha

As a moroccan i didn't understand nothing from maltese language and i would say that's the closest one to arabic is tigre and i only understand one word from Hebrew which is talat maybe it means three or Tuesday i'm not sure

Do Tunisians have exposure to Italian?

@@jenm1Maltese has Arabic language origins not Italian.

Yeah I like that language, as a Tunisian I can understand it well.

For me it feels more like Italian, with a touch of arabic

Nothing Hebrew about it. It's just Arabic with Italian, French, Sicilian and English influence.

how is it hebrew lol

That's not Italian. It's Sicilian language

Which country do you live in?

There is no influence. Arabic and Aramaic are two sister languages

@@mimirotatito786there is of course influence, they mean that aramaic has influenced the sound of levantine arabic which makes sense since they are in the same region, the levant

are you sudanese or ethiopian?

@@user-vi4ty7dq8r Of course Ethiopian or Eritrea, cause Sudanese do not speak Semitic language but they adopt Arabic

​@@user-vi4ty7dq8r: Which Sudanese person would understand 0% of Arabic?

That's odd i'm an arabic speaker i did understand tigre 90% it's literally arabic just upside down If you understood tigre that means you'll automatically understand arabic, i might be wrong

@@ykshorts6649 which arabic do you speak? where are you from? i know yemen shares a lot of similar phrases and accent with ethiopian/eritrean languages

that would be like saying English is a Romance language because of all the influences from Latin 😂

@@hyysonin Maltese people have their own language, which is a mixture of different languages. Please explain how the Maltese language is considered a “Semitic language” when it's not spoken or written properly like other Semitic languages?

while the vocabulary is mixed, the grammar is entirely semitic, therefore making it a semitic language

lol maltese didn't say a singal Arabic word

@@noahae340 Yes it did.. over 50% lol..

Same with dutch

Don’t worry, hebrew is pretty ugly too. Nobody ever said it was a pretty language

For me (Hebrew native speaker), German sounds very sophisticated and Dutch sounds very sweet.

To me, Hebrew sounds like a german trying to speak arabic or amramaic lol

No Tigre came before Arabic. It derives from Ge’ez. Most if not all of Tigre people are Muslims.

@@Elum7 Amharic is also semitic. So is Hebrew. So is Tigrinya. In fact Hebrew is from the same branch as Arabic even closer than Tigre. However non of these languages have so much “Arabic” words like Tigre. Tigre clearly has LOANWORDS directly from Arabic. It is influenced by Arabic a lot mote.

@@StopTheLiess So that explains why Tigre is influenced by Arabic. Thanks pointing out they are muslim, that immediately makes me know thwy have Arabic loanwords, plenty of them, same as Persians, Turks, Somalis, Etc.

@@Ahmed-pf3lg no they don’t. Even in Tigriynia some words sound the same but will mean different things. Like Hamsa is 50 in Tigriynia but 5 in Arabic. Both Tigriynia and Tigre came from Ge’ez.

@@StopTheLiess Tigre is hugely influenced by Arabic. Accept this fact. They are muslim, so that is the reason. Somali also hugely influenced by Arabic, so is Persian, Turkish, Urdu, etc. and Tigre is no different.

What was she saying for tigre if you understand it?

لانها لغات مشتقة من اللغة الجئزية واللي هيا لغة اخت للغات العربية الجنوبية القديمة ، السبئية والحميرية

@@wosamosman9814 أتوقع أن هذه اللغة مع اللغة السبئية اقرب اللغات للعربية حتى أنها أقرب من الآرامية والعبرية

​@@user-bh2qz1ic6d التجرية بالذات نصف مفرداتها عربية فصحى صرفة كمثال كيف حالك بالتجرية تصبح كفو هليكا وما هو اسمك تصبح مي سمكا او سميتكا وكلمات مثل ماء تصبح ماي وايضا الضمائر مثل انا وانت وانتي هي نفسها بالضبط وحتى بدل ال التعريف التجرية تستخدم ل مثل البيت يصبح لبيت السيارة تصبح لسيارت ( التاء المربوطة تنطق كالتاء المفتوحة ) وهكذا دواليك .

That was modern standard Arabic, the closest Arabic dialect to Maltese would the Northern Tunisian Arabic dialect.

@abdibgm5748 I know, but when I watch Tunisian videos I also can barely understand anything and yet Arabs always say they're the same language. A language needs to mostly be understood by both sides. The only reason Tunisians can understand us is because a lot of them speak French or Italian.

@foshhaytek5304 You should watch videos on the dialects spoken in Tunis, Carthage and Djem.

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.

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

This is standard arabic, its the same for news channels in every arab country and understood by all

@@Fifi-jb3yx I'm aware guys, I understand Arabic myself

i love the ع

For Us Amharic. Arabic and Tigrygna are too much Noisy😁😁😁

It was MSA, 95% of Arabic news channels use MSA

Thought so, as I read in many linguistic studied that MSA or al-fusha is used in news broadcasts, educational content, legislative, executive and political settings. But I also heard that in Egypt, the trend is going towards the local dialect everywhere, even in education materials. In that particular video, which Arabic countrie's accent did the newscaster have?

You mean this video, I think the male newscaster is from the Gulf Region, but im not sure which country maybe Saudi Arabia and the female newscaster is from the Levant region, most probably Lebanese but their are both speaking MSA. The channel is MBC, which is owned by Saudi Arabia.

@@majido1000 ah ok, understood, thank you very much for clarification. But what they were speaking about in that video? I understood some words about corona and rial

@user-kv7lk4uh3b there are two clips. The first one they were talking about the Corona vaccination drive in Saudi Arabia and a 2nd Corona center opening in Jeddah and the second clip they were talking about the Gulf Cooperation Council GCC summit to be held in Riyadh and that the 40 years anniversary of its establishment is nearing.

🤣👍

That’s actually, because Maltese comes from Arabic, specifically the Tunisian dialect of Arabic and it is a mix of Italian with a Latin script

Modern Hebrew is just like an Arabic with German accent and Russian vocabulary

@@AlqoaityThat is not true at all what 😂

Considered the better Tigriynia to who? Ge’ez derived from Tigray

@@StopTheLiess To the inventors of Tigrinya which are Kebessa Eritreans? Thats why they speak it the clearest while Tigray they almost sound amharic lol, and What?😂😂 Ge’ez originated from Matara, Eritrea! Not Tigray😂😂 this is a certified fact so keep trying to steal Kebessa Eritrean History its not gonna work.

Stop lying Ge'ez originated from Tigray. The capital of Axum, a mainly Ge'ez speaking nation until its last few centuries was located in Tigray. If you can't understand Tigrynia thats on you.@@LZ-no3go

@@StopTheLiess Yes, but over the years tigrinya (ET) mixed with amahric while the tigrinya in Eritrea didn’t. Even when you listen to geez ist has more similarities to Eritrean tigrinya.

@@LZ-no3goback then it was Ethiopia though. We derived later on so don’t ignore that.

With Yemenite or Iraqi much better Modern Hebrew was Westernized when it was revived the language therefore it has lost its Eastern spirit as many letters sounds shifted to European language sound .

i’m guessing english isn’t your first language because there’s a big difference between arabized and arabicized

@@jaif7327 Coming from someone who doesn't use punctuation and capitals. Arabize and Arabicized both mean the same thing: "make Arabic or Arab in character".

A language derived from Sicilian-Arabic, mixed with Italian, Sicilian and English... Simply 🤯

it's a cool language and should be adopted as the international lingua franca of the Arabic world - simple, clear Latin alphabet, including many Latin words which makes it a bridge to other languages whilst still an Arabic and Semitic language at heart.

@@SionTJobbinssounds too eurocentric...

@@1601xavi yes, I know, I was saying it mostly tongue in cheek, but since visiting Malta in 1999 to see my home town Aberystwyth (Wales) play football there, I've been impressed that the Maltese have held on to their language. As a Welshman and Welsh-speaker I respect them greatly for that.

I think assyrian is the closest to modern hebrew.

As a L2 Hebrew speaker, I understood some words from the Arabic and Aramaic but I couldn't put the sentences together

Well yeah, that's what happens when you fake jews violently create a fake country speaking a fake language using fake phonetics and vocabularies.

hebrew was revived by arabic

Because you are Ashkenazi and not Semitic, you are just an outsider to the region

It's MSA, they're talking about Saudi

It's standard arabic

When the Ashkenazim revived the language as they were the pioneers no doubt and they should be appreciated for their accomplishment but in the other hand they destroyed the spirit of the language as they Germanized it which means they changed many typical pure Semitic letters to sound like their German or Yiddish language ( Yiddish derived from German ) as they were/are unable to pronounce them so they shifted from east to west and I will give you some examples : 1- The letter ח Hhet converted to German CH ( KH ) 2- The letter ט Ttet converted to normal T 3- The letter ע A"yen converted to sound like A 4- The letter צ Ssadi converted to German Z ( TS ) 5- The letter ק Qof converted to sound like K 6- The letter ר Resh converted to German R ( GH ) 7- The letter ו Waw converted to German W ( V ) they did not change all these letters sound by bad intention but because these pure Semitic letters were/are so heavy on their tongues, then Mizrahim or eastern Jews followed them step by step as the Ashkenazim were/are the founders / leaders of the new state and they are who run the state departments, schools, educational institutes and media like TVs so their broken accent prevailed . This is the fact.

@@mujemoabraham6522 But it is natural that the accent of a language will change throughout history, just as ancient Arabic is not understood by Scandinavians, but will be relatively understandable to Icelandic speakers.. You cannot call the accent in which everyone speaks a 'broken' accent, it simply moved away from the original pronunciation. Also in Semitic languages ​​you can take an example, Maltese was heavily influenced by Italian, does that mean it is a broken language? Do not think. Thank you for the answer.

إثيوبيا تعتبر لغة حبشية جنوبية بس التجراي و التجرينية لغات حبشية شمالية وقريبة للعربي اكثر و موجودة في إريتريا و شمال إثيوبيا

But i think that עברית is the correct one

No one writes עיברית

Cushitic

somali native language is not semetic

Somali isn't a Semitic language

Somali is a cushitic language.

Ah yes yes, because as Arabs, being ✨️close to Latin✨️ is our top priority. What a stvpid take.

😂😂😂

But we already have a lingua franca

Are you mad ?

no thank you arabic is a much cooler language than maltese

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 😊

Gurl shut up🙄

Oromo and Somali are Cushitic, Hausa is Chadic. They aren't Semitic

They’re all afroasiatic

But different branches

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.

@@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

@@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…

youare dumb

About 2:50, it is not even the standard Aramaic language. It's a local dialect, where they turn their A's into O's. So everything will sound like yoyo thotho lolo. Very ignorant of the uploader to use it for this video. It's like using the Texan accent to represent English or something.😑😁

@@LisaSpringfield both A and O pronounciations do not correspond to ancient aramaic. The pronounce was between A and O. Same thing happened with hebrew (kamats was between A and O, modern hebrew has only A, but yemenites say O). So both are valid

Internet says it is a Semitic language.

@@Apelles42069 yes it is

A language is a dialect with an army and a navy.

Magherbi should be other languege

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