actually, given the language that they were penned in, I should transliterate it as "va" not "wa"

Languages in the Talmud?

BadJezebel -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (3/16/2009 9:39:47 PM)
You're all warm but no one is quite there: Sylvere: Aramaic and Hebrew are not African but are Asiatic. Arabic is also Asiatic in origin but the dialects can be African. Amharic is African but.... Shiver: Jesus spoke Aramaic and may have learned Hebrew. He would not have spoken Amharic and Arabic was still a conglomerate of dialects at that time. Arabic is too young of a language to be "Biblical" Hejira: Great guess but people who spoke Amhara were not introduced to the Talmud until this century. Let me know if you guys give up ....

Afro-Asiatic is a linguistic family. All of those languages are branches of the Afro-Asiatic family. Google it. But if that's not the answer you're looking for, then I don't know.

Hi, they are all Semetic languages. I knew that as the "Hamito-Semetic" language group. I didn't know about the new term, sorry. Here is what Wilipedia says: The term "Afroasiatic" was coined by Maurice Delafosse (1914). It did not come into general use until it was adopted by Joseph Greenberg (1950) to replace the earlier term "Hamito-Semitic", following his demonstration that Hamitic is not a valid language family. So, you win and I stand corrected. Can't wait to see what you put up next!

Well, dang it!! I know the answer, but then I'd have to come up with a new quartet, so I'll abstain & just ask how things are going for you, DC?
