One widely accepted analysis, supported by semiticist s like Robert Hetzron and John Huehnergard , divides the Semitic language family into two branches East Semiticlanguages Eastern and Western. The former consists of the extinct language extinct Eblaite language Eblaite and Akkadian language Akkadian languages, the latter of the majority of Semiticlanguages. It consists of the clearly defined sub groups Ethiopic languages Ethiopic , South Arabian languages South Arabian , Arabic language Arabic and Northwest Semiticlanguages Northwest Semitic this including Hebrew language Hebrew , Aramaic language Aramaic and Ugaritic language Ugaritic . The first two, Ethiopic and South Arabian, show particular common features, and are often grouped together as South Semiticlanguages South Semitic . The correct classification of Arabic with respect to other Semiticlanguages is debated. In older classifications, it is grouped with the South Semiticlanguages. However, Hetzron and Huehnergard connect it more closely with the Northwest Semiticlanguages, to form Central Semiticlanguages Central Semitic . Some semiticists continue to argue for the older classification based on the distinctive feature of broken plural s. Some linguists argue that Eteocypriot was a West Semitic language spoken in ancient Cyprus .

Different classification systems disagree on the precise structure of the group. The most common approach divides it into Arabic and Northwest Semitic, while SIL Ethnologue has South Central Semitic including Arabic and Hebrew vs. Aramaic. The main distinction between Arabic and the Northwest Semiticlanguages is the presence of broken plural s in the former. The majority of Arabic masculine non human nouns form plurals in this manner called inanimate plural , whereas almost all nouns in the Northwest Semiticlanguages form their plurals with a Affix suffix . For example, the Arabic bayt house becomes buy t houses the Hebrew bayit house becomes batt m houses .

For the subgroup of Niger Congo languages Atlantic languages The Atlantic languages of SemiticlanguagesSemitic or Semitidic paraphyletic para Semitic origin are a disputed concept in historical linguistics put forward by Theo Vennemann . The theory has found no notable acceptance in academic circles, and is criticised as being based on sparse and often misinterpreted data.

They left a superstratum in the Germanic languages and a substratum in the development of Insular Celtic .

From the beginning, it was the home of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, a departmental library, a repository for research collections, a public educational institute, and a center for archaeological exploration. Among the Museum s early achievements were the first scientific excavations in the Holy Land at Samaria in 1907 1912 and excavations at Nuzi and Tell el Khaleifeh in the Sinai , where the earliest alphabet was found. The Museum s artifacts include pottery , cylinder seal s, sculpture , coin s, clay tablet cuneiform tablet s, and Egyptian mummy sarcophagi . Many are from museum sponsored excavations in Israel , Jordan , Iraq , Egypt , Cyprus , and Tunisia . The museum holds a replica of the Merneptah stele , as well as a full scale model of an Iron Age Israelite house. The Museum is dedicated to the use of these collections for the teaching, research, and publication of Near Eastern archaeology, history, and culture.

The root linguistics roots of verbs and most nouns in the Semiticlanguages are characterized as a sequence of consonants or radicals hence also the term consonantal root . Such abstract consonantal roots are used in the formation of actual words by adding the vowels and non root consonants or transfix es which go with a particular morphological category around the root consonants, in an appropriate way, generally following specific patterns. It is a peculiarity of Semitic linguistics that a large majority of these consonantal roots are triliterals although there are a number of quadriliterals , and in some languages also biliterals . Triconsonantal roots A triliteral or triconsonantal root lang he transl he ore , lang ar transl ar ALA jadhr thul thy , lang syr transl syr er is a root containing a sequence of three consonants.

The dual is abaw ni or ab ni two fathers or mother and father b i ka meaning thy parents . Li ll h i ab ka is an expression of praise, meaning to God is attributable the excellence of your father . As a verb, b w means to become as a father to somebody abawtu or to adopt him as a father ta abb hu or ista b hu . In the construct state , Ab wikt is followed by another word to form a complete name, e.g. Abu Mazen , another name for Mahmoud Abbas . Abu may be used as a Kunya Arabic kunya , an honorific. To refer to a man by his fatherhood of male offspring is polite, so that ab takes the function of an honorific. Even a man that is as yet childless may still be known as ab of his father s name, implying that he will yet have a son called after his father. The combination is extended beyond the literal sense a man may be described as acting as a father in his relation to animals, e.g., Abu Bakr , the father of a camel s foal Abu Huraira, father of kittens . In some cases, a man s enemies will refer to him in such a way to besmirch him, e.g. Abu Jahl, the father of ignorance . A man may be described as being the possessor of some quality, as Abu l Gadl, father of grace , or the graceful one Abu l Fida, father of devotion , or the devout one . An object or a place may be given a nickname, such as Abu l hawl, father of terror , the Sphinx at Giza .

In practice, there are a number of minor Neopagan movements that revive Iron Age Canaanite religion . The polytheistic mainstream religious practice in Canaan, and especially in the kingdoms of Israel and Judah during the 10th to 7th centuries BCE, is evident from the writings of the Nevi im biblical prophets even though these texts are written from the point of view of the Yahwism Yahwist faction . The notion of historical Israelite or Jewish polytheism has been popularized in the 1960s by Raphael Patai in The Hebrew Goddess , focusing on the cult of female goddess es such as the cult of Asherah in the Temple of Solomon . During the 1970s growth of Neopaganism in the United States , a number of minor Canaanite or Israelite oriented groups emerged, mostly containing syncretism syncretistic elements from western occultism .
