	Proto-Semitic Language and Culture. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. 2000
		A distinctive characteristic of the Semitic languages is the formation of words by the combination of a “root” of consonants in a fixed order, usually three, and a “pattern” of vowels and, sometimes, affixes before and after the root.
		The Appendix of Semitic Roots (Appendix II) that follows this essay is designed to allow the reader to trace English words derived from Semitic languages back to their fundamental components in Proto-Semitic, the parent language of all ancient and modern Semitic languages.
		The emphatic consonants are characteristic of Semitic; in Proto-Semitic they were probably glottalized, that is, produced with a simultaneous closing of the glottis in the throat; this is how they are still pronounced in the Ethiopian Semitic languages.

	Afro-Asiatic languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Semitic, Berber and Egyptian branches are not tonal.
		The Semitic languages are the only Afro-Asiatic subfamily based outside of Africa; however, in historical or near-historical times, some Semitic speakers crossed from South Arabia back into Ethiopia, so some modern Ethiopian languages (such as Amharic) are Semitic rather than belonging to the substrate Cushitic or Omotic groups.

	Afro-Asiatic languages -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		A language family that covers a broad geographical region and a vast historical period, the Semitic language group is part of an even larger language family known as Afro-Asiatic, or Hamito-Semitic.
		Amharic is an Afro-Asiatic language of the Southwest Semitic group and is related to Ge'ez, or Ethiopic, the liturgical language of the Ethiopian Orthodox church; it also has affinities with Tigré, Tigrinya, and the South Arabic...
		Such modern languages as Hebrew, Arabic, and Ethiopic belong to the Semitic language group.

		The fifth branch - Semitic - included some >languages in the Middle East but also included others in Africa, such as the >Amharic, Tigre, and Tigrinya tongues spoken in Ethiopia.
		History of the Egyptian language Ancient Egyptian shows the closest relations to Beja (Cushitic), Semitic and Berber, more distant ones to the rest of Cushitic and Chadic.
		Although written records exist only since the nineteenth century, some scholars take Berber to represent the historical outcome of the ancient language of the more than 1000 'Libyan' inscriptions, written in autochthonous or in Latin alphabet and documented from the second century BCE onward.

	KAM African Influence on Judaism
		Greenberg had identified five different branches of Hamito-Semitic: Cushitic, Egyptian, Berber, Chadic and Semitic.
		The term often used to refer to the Hebrews is "Semitic." This word however has varying meanings denoting either race, ethnic group, language, or a combination thereof.
		In ancient Egypt they are clearly depicted as Semitic types.

	Ancient Egyptian, a "Hamito-Semitic" language
		Egyptian shows closest connections with Beja (Northern Cushitic), Semitic and Berber.
		Attempts to trace underlying 'super-families' of languaged that would, for example, link Afro-Asiatic and Indo-European are highly speculative, because they involve vast time-depth and a paucity of similar features so that the established comparative method (referred to earlier) breaks down and 'genetic' relationships cannot be proven in the same way."

	Hamito-Semitic languages
		The most satisfactory explanation is that the Hamitic and Semitic groups, despite their divergences, are subfamilies of a single Hamito-Semitic linguistic family, as evidenced by their marked grammatical, lexical, and phonological resemblances.
		Another theory holds that the Hamito-Semitic, or Afroasiatic, language family came into being in Africa, for only in Africa are all its members found, aside from some Semitic languages encountered in W Asia.
		Traditionally, the Hamito-Semitic language family is said to have two subfamilies: Semitic and Hamitic.

	Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust!
		Although it has become traditional, it is an unfortunate label in suggesting that the family is divided into a group of Semitic and a group of Hamitic languages; in fact, the family has at least four other branches of the same order as the Semitic languages.
		The languages belonging to this family can apparently be subdivided into branches representing dialects of the original parent language—namely, Semitic, Egyptian, Berber, Cushitic, and Chadic.
		The term Erythraean is inappropriate in implying that the family originated on both shores of the Red Sea, an assumption that cannot be proved; and Afro-Asiatic (proposed by an American linguist, Joseph Greenberg, in 1950) may be too comprehensive insofar as it suggests that all the languages of Africa and Asia are included.

		The Semitic languages, of which Arabic has always been the largest in its number of speakers and geographical distribution, are members of a family once named Hamito-Semitic, for two of the three sons of Noah, Ham and Shem.
		After all, the study of Arabic in the west has its origins in part in the discipline of comparative Semitics, whose founding purpose was to enable scholars and translators to clarify obscurities in the original Christian and Jewish scriptures by means of reference to related languages.
		The first to appear, in the book of Genesis, in the well-known rhythmic phrase, whose translation in the English Bible preserves a great deal of the majesty of the source language, is the very generalized Semitic word for the divinity in its local form: “Elohim”.

		As a group they dominate much of the northern third of the African continent, stretching from Senegal on the Atlantic to Eritrea on the Red Sea and from the Sahara to the Mediterranean, and together with Semitic they are commonly grouped today in one super-family known formerly as Hamito-Semitic and today as Afro-Asiatic.
		The fact that there were connections between Semitic and ancient Egyptian had long been recognized, and starting with the 1960s, scholars of certain non-Semitic African languages began to point out an increasing number of resemblances between them and the Semitic group as well.
		Given the fact that the African branch of the Afro-Asiatic family is far larger and more variegated than the Asian or Semitic branch, it is impossible to conceive of Afro-Asiatic as having started in the Middle East and spreading from there to Africa.
