Semitic Languages : Arabic, Aramaic & Hebrew are the purest.

Why did English become the first language? Anon is right. Fuck germanic languages!

>>1851966
Yeah, pure shit.


Except hebrew is pretty cool.

Indo-Europeans are without a doubt, the most important people on the planet ever.

Hebrew, especially modern Hebrew, is the ugliest sounding of them all 2bh

It's also the least pure of the Semitic languages, having the most admixture from ancient Egyptian as well as Indo-European languages

>not Akkadian

Technically classical Arabic or فصحى (the form of Arabic used in the Koran and in the Mu'allaqat) is the "purest" Semitic language as it is closest to proto-Semitic with regards to its lexicon, orthography, pronunciation, grammar, syntax, etc.

modern hebrew is relexified slavic and was created 100 years ago by ben yehuda


> Ben‑Yehuda set out to develop a new language that could replace Yiddish and other regional dialects as a means of everyday communication between Jews who made aliyah from various regions of the world

How close is Amharic to the other Semitic languages?

>>1853508
Arabic is a very beautiful language. I read the Koran once while listening to it's recitation.

>syntax
>pronunciation
lmao when did people start reconstructing syntax in proto-languages
the same can be said for pronunciation, the comparative method deals in phonemes and not sounds

also how exactly can an unwritten reconstructed language have an orthography
