	Hamitic Races And Languages - LoveToKnow 1911
		The questions involved in a consideration of Hamitic races and Hamitic languages are independent of one another and call for separate treatment.

		Neither medieval reports on the language spoken by the Guanches of the Canary Islands (fullest in A. Berthelot, Antiguites canariennes, 1879; akin to Shilha; by no means primitive Libyan untouched by Arabic), nor the modern dialect of Siwa (still little known; tentative grammar by Basset, 1890), have justified hopes of finding a pure Libyan dialect.

		The Semitic languages betray their relationship one to another not only by similarity of articulation and grammatical foundation, but by identity of roots and word-forms; while the Hamitic languages reveal their kinship merely by a similarity in morphology and of the forms of their roots, less often in the material of the roots (comp.

	Hamitic Languages
		The Hamitic group is certainly a much wider and more various language group than the Semitic or the Aryan, and the Semitic tongues are more of a family, have more of a common likeness, than the Aryan.
		Among the Hamitic languages are the ancient Egyptian and Coptic, the Berber languages (of the mountain people of North Africa, the Masked Tuaregs, and other such peoples), and what are called the Ethiopic group of African languages in eastern Africa, including the speech of the Gallas and the Somalis.
		These Hamitic languages may have radiated from a centre on the African coast of the Mediterranean, and they may have extended over the then existing land connections very widely into western Europe.

	The Language of Ancient Egypt: Hieroglyphic Lessons
		Situated in the north-eastern corner of the African continent, on the border with Asia, the Egyptian language evolved between two important linguistic families: the Semitic languages of the Near-East (Akkadian, Hebrew, Arabic,...) and the Hamitic languages of Central- and North-Africa (Somali, Galla, Berber,...).
		It is thus not surprising that the Egyptian language shows some similarities with both the Semitic and the Hamitic language groups.
		This, however, does not mean that the language of the Ancient Egyptians was a mere combination of linguistic and semantic elements of the Semitic and Hamitic languages!

		He believes Hamitic languages [Afro-Asiatic] are Caucasian languages, and that therefore the original Nubians had to have been a white people.
		Indeed, their Hamitic tongue and the fact it as well as other Cushitic languages of East Africa, have been shown to be much closer to ancient Egyptian, than Berber, Arabic, Hebrew, Phoenician, and other Afroasiatic languages, only goes to show that the Hamitic languages themselves may have originally been fl African languages, rather than Caucasian.
		For example, all the languages and include Ancient Egyptian, which Greenberg left as a lone branch of his Afro-Asiatic, in most East and North-East Africa are clearly related: this is attested both by lexical statistics, grammatical features and syntax.

	The Original Unity of Language
		To myself the study of the Hamitic family was interesting particularly because it offered an opportunity of learning how far languages, supposed to be of a common origin, might diverge and become dissimilar by the unrestrained operation of dialectic regeneration.
		The Hamitic "family" of languages (using the term in the biblical sense) is clearly very extensive, including as it does the Mongol group, the African, certain languages of Europe (Basque, etc.), and the languages of Oceania.
		Moreover, the languages of the various populations differ in proceeding from these centers in a manner pointing to degeneracy such as is likely to occur in small and rude tribes separating from a parent stock.
