The Afroasiatic languages are a language family of about 400 languages spoken predominantly in Western Asia, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, and parts of the Sahara and Sahel. Over 500 million people are native speakers of an Afroasiatic language, constituting the fourth-largest language family after Indo-European, Sino-Tibetan, and Niger-Congo. Most linguists divide the family into six branches: Berber, Chadic, Cushitic, Egyptian, Semitic, and Omotic. The vast majority of Afroasiatic languages are considered indigenous to the African continent, including all those not belonging to the Semitic branch.

How exactly do you claim it is your “native tongue”? Lol. Egypt is full of immigrants since ancient times from Persians, Greeks, Arabs, even Turks, etc..
@@Ahmed-pf3lg There's a science called Genetics you know nothing about which found that 91% of modern day Egyptians are genetically ethnically ancient Egyptians. 9% are ethnic minorities like Nubians, Arabs, Greeks, Turks...etc.
In the Somali language, the letters C, Q, and X represent the letters ق, ع and ح
in arabic respectively.
But the Somali pronounciation of ع and ح is much stronger than Arabic for some reason
@@Ahmed-pf3lgwe pronounce just like how Arabs pronounce it
@@visuali235
I am Arab and no you don’t, especially the ع it is very strong in Somali, you hear it much stronger and clearer than Arabic ع

I’m Hausa and I love your channel Andy I’m a big fan nagode
As a hausa person living in the most populated housa city in the word kano i can say the hausa part is accurate but we speak different accent but we can understand tjis accent perfectly
But you know Hausa is not the only chadic language the Ouldeme and Mafa of Cameroon also speak a chadic language many other smaller groups
Amazing language family
As an Arabic native speaker, there some words I understand from each. Also, some Coptic words are in Hebrew like shish for 6.
Naga "cafi" in somali is عفا يعفو
Did you understand the arabic part? (Green flag)

Amazing.
proudly Hausa
to the Algerians, tiaret the town your champion comes from. means lioness, because of the -t suffix is feminine, if you break it down iar or aar in somali is lion
ii.
in chadic languages, haguri means tooth, in somali hunguri means anything oral - mouth, throat, food, hunger, etc.
in ancient Egyptian - rah is the sun god. in somali but qor rax means sun. Bastet
means cat diety, in somali bisad means cat - no polytheist connections at all for either
in arabic, balada - means land, in somali bulshada - is community or town. Lisan means tongue, in somali lef means lick. at some point ɬʰ went to l or sh or s e
What does the 7 represent in wollaita orthography?
Glottal stop /ʔ/
As an egyptian coptic sounds more normal then standerd arabic to my ears
most words in somali are spelt wrongly, ex. six , it should be lix. not liix. seven is todoba not todobba. two is laba not labba.

am from sudan , I love Hausa language
Proudly Hausa
Long live Afro asiatic.
Hausa sounds nice but for some reason it doesn’t feel like it fits in.
Hausa and Berber languages comes from Chadic Berber family
@@Lol29278 no it doesn’t. Berber is a separate branch from Hausa.
@@minamuse3965 how?
@@minamuse3965it doesn’t matter what you think. It’s still an Afro asiatic language so deal with it. It doesn’t fit in because it’s an African language unlike Cushitic, Semitic, Berber, etc. those all are Arabic languages from west Eurasia.
Wouldn’t Hebrew be considered Afro-asiatic aswell?
Yes but arabic represents semitic branch
@@nofire8658 oh ok
They went with one language for each branch, with Semitic repped by Arabic
It is also Afro-asiatic
Local languages like Syriac/Aramaic and Coptic should have the honor of being official languages like Berber in Morocco and Algeria or Kurdish in Iraq
I believe that syriac should be restored to the form when it was lingua franca, it would cause thousands of history lovers and christians to learn this language.
I'm pretty sure amazigh languages have official status in Morocco. There were signs everywhere.
I think the languages should only be official if they’re widely spoken (so Syriac, Aramaic, and Coptic don’t really count), efforts can be made to revive them and once more people speak them, they can be official
@@erinknightingale251yes,its official in Morocco and Algeria according our constitution
@@SinarNila
Genocides? The Arabs did not kill foreigners. Stop changing history. The locals converted to Islam and were Arabized, but Arabs didn’t kill anyone for simply being non-Arab or a disbeliever of Islam!
Hausa doesn’t seem to be Afro Asiatic, maybe Chadic languages themselves are its own language family. Although I’m no linguist.
Amazing language family
Somali sounding like Arabic and Hausa kinda sounding off
Try the Niger-Congo Languages next
And Omotic like Korean-Japanese in Eastern Africa...
I’m Hausa and the Hausa was perfect except it was really slow😭😭😭
what about berber
@@cupidsnow3885 and the somali felt like he was rushing excluding the lord's prayer the rest didn't need to be so fast.
Somali sounds nothing like Arabic.

Not gonna lie Wolaitta kinda sounded like Japanese to me, especially "Ne kawotettai yo" that looks like giberrish Japonic lol

LIST OF VIBES THESE AFROASIATIC LANGUAGES DO TRANSMIT
Kabyle = Amerind
Hausa = Turkic
Somali = Greenlandic
Coptic = Hellenic
Arabic = Indo-Aryan
Wolaitta = Japonic
Coptic's similarity to Hellenic is no coincidence, but comparing Semetic to Indo-Aryan is inaccurate
So, Ancient Egyptians, Akkadians, Hebrews, Phoenicians, Amazigh, ans Arabs are linguistic related!
Barely tho its not that they are all fully related but they are more of a continuation from west to east
Thanks for sharing please include more languages, Oromo is the largest spoken Cushitic language.
Coptic sounds greek somehow wolaita sounds so different even if we live same geography as somali speaker anyway great video thanks
That's actually a Greekified pronunciation which was introduced in the 19th cent as part of a larger plan to bring the Coptic Church closer to the Greek Orthodox Church. There's now a movement to re-establish the older pronunciation, which has the backing of the Coptic pope, but is extremely unpopular among the clergy who have grown up with the Greekified pronunciation.
@@SinarNila To someone who has severe hearing problems, maybe 🤣
The Coptic you here now is full of Greek and Arabic influence. Even words and pronunciation are very Greekified and Arabized.
Just the sound of this language family makes me feel like I had to live in 45 C heat everyday :D

They have nothing in common... I can find similitudes between Hindi or Bangla and Portuguese, Castilian, German, ... but these haven't got any similar words (not even the basic numbers nor anything, at least not that I could spot).
It's an old and diverse family
As a speaker of Egyptian/Coptic and an Egyptian myself I agree with you that your phonological remark is correct. Yet, regarding grammar and sentence structure you'll find this family pretty consistent 👍
@@FieldLing639 👍👌
do you have a degree in linguistics? Have you systemically reviewed the grammar of multiple languages across each country? (not just one example). If you were, you would also know that indo-european is as young as semitic, and much younger than proto-afro-asiatic as a whole. The amount of terms retained in PIE cannot be compared to PAA.
I personally have doubts on the legitimacy of a language family that is so old, but a 5 minute video on only 6 languages is not enough to debunk a nearly 200 year old theory.
@@UD-sy5ul The stereotypical geographic impositions you're saying are incorrect because Arabic like Amharic and Tigrinya is extremely close to other Semitic languages in South Arabia and Levant Northwest Semitic and anyone can realise that from even a short video like this. That's while the North African Afro languages of Egyptian and Amazigh are different from Semitic and even sound differently.
As berber all this is faulse. Coptic is not african arabic is asiatic not afro. The dude used alot of arabic words into berber ones. Berber is older then arabic. Coptic is not evem egytian but surely out of africa.
Somali sound like Arabic tho
Hardly intelligible to me as an arab tho
They're not even close. Stop the cap
They both have ع sound but still very different
Sounds like moroccan arabic
it has some arabic influence, but Arabs and Somalis can't understand each other
Wolaitta almost has a Japanese sound to it, very interesting!
I feel like all languages in Ethiopia sound similar despite the various lang families
@@user-ko2lp6zb6oI don’t think so eastern Cushitic languages and northern Semitic languages sound very different compared to Oromo Amharic and other western and central Ethiopian languages
Kabyle is full of Arabic words.. lol
Same for Turkish and Persian Lol 😂
It’s because he was using “religious” words that u pick up from islamic prayers they have alternative native words but the religious muslim one is used more
@@AchieveworldpeaceKabyle is not religious word it just means tribe
@@Achieveworldpeace
Kabyle literally means “tribal” the entire language/ethnicity name is Arabic.
Kabyle is a bad illustration for Berber, 40-50/100 of its lexicon are words borrowed from Latin ,Arabic, Punic, French... You should have opted for Tuareg (Tamahaq/tamajaq/tamašaq ) (purest varieties) or at least Tachelhit or the Moroccan standard .
From the accent that she speaks in the Arabic language paragraph, I can say that she is from Syria or from the Levant region in general. I love their accent when they speak in standard/classical Arabic
I think she’s Filipino.

Hausa is chadic branch of the Afro asiatic.
@@HarunaNuhuHamza I know but you didn't understand my point. All afro asiatic sound same except hausa. If close my eyes i will defo would not think hausa being part of afro asiatic
@@Alhamdulilah28hausa has west african influence

Great video
Seems like Berber and Chadic are similar, and Coptic and Semitic are similar. Some sort of sprachbund is more likely than these people actually sharing ancestors tbh.
Afro-Asiatic is not a realistic family tree, not like Indo-European.
No it’s not Berber is the closest to Coptic and Chadic is the most different one out of all of them Cushitic is close to be brother Berber and Coptic but over all you can tell they’re Afro asiatic
The Kabyle translation has too many Arabic loanwords into it, it’s a pity not to input more native words
It was using alot of “religious words” that u say in arabic in prayer so people sometimes use them
Only understood somali and Arabic 😆😆 rest soundlike they were speaking same language.

Berber is most similar to Semitic also Coptic
Kabyle language really got a huge influence and loanwords from Arabic
@@Kunta-Kinte002 but the numbers stay the same isn't it? If numbers in other berber languages show same similarity it means the root is deeper

Natan, Saron i Tahran przywitali Nowy Rok!🎉
Coptic similar to Latin
The last one was japaneese 😂
Actually coptic has native speakers (Egyptian Cristians know it)
They speak it but not natively just at a professional level but its still difficult for them because there are no new coptic words being made so anything made after 16 century will be impossible to talk about unless u make neologisms that only you know
It is mistake you read the numbers in the right way the old pronounciation of the coptic bohairic dialect but in the end you use the newal pronounciation erian afandy which uses in the chruchs but it is completely different you had to read in the same way and better to be according to the old pronounciation of course
Maybe you can volunteer next time, and pronouce it the way you think it should be 😉
And maybe you might use some interpunction when writing. It makes your sentences easier to read and understand.

Your list of Cushitic languages is not exhaustive. Somali and Arabic never sound the same.

The last remaining language spoken by ancient Egyptian people is somali, and if somali languag dies, it means no trace of Egyptian language left in the world.
😊
I feel this language family is way too far fetched because i can barely see anything in common , each of them seem like a different family.
Especially semitic it is a large ancient family of its own with many branches .
this is not a good representation of similarities, plus the branching of this family is ancient (10000 BC first split), way more ancient than indo-european for example (3000 BC first split) but there are allot of related words for example:
DM is red/blood
arabic: Al-Dam
Tamazight: Idammen (standard as plural)
Ancient-Egypt: Idmi (red-linen)
TL is mountain
Arabic: Al-Tur (mountain) Al-Tal (sandhill)
Tamazight: Adrar (from Atlal, second L is a reducplication so root is Atal, the forms Atar and Adar are also known)
Omotic: Tillum (mountain/hill)
MA is water
arabic: Al-Ma' (root is Ma)
Tamazight: AMan (root is ma)
Ancient-Egyptian: Imi (water)
and many more clearly related words, you must understand it as historical splits of and influences.
@@mazighislam992 thank you for explaining
