From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. In linguistics and ethnology, Semitic (from the Biblical "Shem", Hebrew: שם, translated as "name", Arabic: ساميّ) was first used to refer to a language family of largely Middle Eastern origin, now called the Semitic languages. This family includes the ancient and modern forms of Akkadian, Amharic, Arabic, Aramaic, Ge'ez, Hebrew, Maltese, Phoenician, Tigre and Tigrinya among others. As language studies are interwoven with cultural studies, the term also came to describe the extended cultures and ethnicities, as well as the history of these varied peoples as associated by close geographic and linguistic distribution.

No. Vedic relates to the Vedas; ancient religious writings comparable to our Bible and at least as old. Follow the links below to become a cunning linguist. Evidently Sanskrit developed to the far East of the area where the proto-Semitic languages developed. There was not enough cross-pollination because of geographical separation, so your answer is no, although Sanskrit did impact many modern tongues like Greek & Persian.

Q. Latino, african-american and asians are often called racist for being critical of their own ethnicity's wayward ones, and stereotypes so does it rate the same for Jewish people? Is it simply the core of the thing that is remarked upon or does it pass if done by one of your own? Asked by Mr Rothwyn - Tue Sep 2 18:18:04 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes, it is possible. I think we're usually more open to inner criticism, but Jewish-antisemitism and self-hatred do exist.
