    In today’s episode, we’ll be comparing some of the similarities between two Semitic languages, Amharic and Aramaic, with Betty (Amharic speaker) and Berta (Assyrian Neo-Aramaic speaker) challenging each other with a list of words and sentences.
    Do you speak a Semitic language? If so, how much of the vocabulary were you able to understand?
    Semitic languages that are most widely spoken today are Arabic, Amharic, Tigrinya, Hebrew, Tigre, Aramaic, and Maltese. There are other Semitic languages with a smaller number of native speakers.
    Amharic is the official working language of Ethiopia, an Afroasiatic language and one of the Ethiopian Semitic languages. It is spoken as a first language by the Amharas and as a lingua franca by most people in Ethiopia.
    Neo-Aramaic consists of several languages which are varieties of Aramaic. Among these, the Northeastern Neo-Aramaic and Central Neo-Aramaic dialects are spoken primarily, but not exclusively, by ethnic Assyrians, who are native to Iraq, Syria, Iran, and Turkey. Assyrians are among the Christian minorities in the Middle East, being members of the Assyrian Church of the East, Chaldean Catholic Church (Eastern Rite Catholics), Syriac Orthodox Church, Ancient Church of the East, Assyrian Pentecostal Church and Assyrian Evangelical Church.

The Arabic of the Quran is from Syriac Aramaic and that's where the Quran was most likely written up north.

      Quem criou a religião católica creio eu que seja Paulo, pois é dito na bíblia que após a crucificação de Jesus Cristo. Paulo foi fazer milagres e falar sobre Deus com os fiéis.
      Existe até uma parte da biblía que se tornou parte do filme John Constantino. Paulo e seus discípulos estão fazendo exorcismo. Os garotos mais novos de Paulo vão fazer exorcismo longe de Paulo... sozinho com o demônio e o demônio pergunta a ele "Quem é você? A Paulo eu conheço. Você não." É o garoto morre. Não necessariamente que o filme John Constantino veio disso, mas eu acho que faz referência.
      Porque eu disse que uma parte da bíblia fez parte do filme e não falei que o filme fez parte da bíblia? Porque é tão antigo que mesmo que você não queira as vezes você faz referência, mas eu te garanto que quem escreveu a bíblia não estava pensando em como o fiel vai usar essa informação, mas que o fiel vai ter consciência que ele escreveu a bíblia para nós guiar.

      62570 1483 From what I’ve researched and what she’s told Me,
      Habesha are the people who descend from, and identify with, a Ge’ez heritage irrespective of country or religion
      This includes the Tigrayit (Tigre), Tigrinya and Dahlak speakers of Eritrea
      It also includes the Tigrinya, Amharinya, Gurage, Harari , Argobba, Gafatgna, and a few other smaller speaking groups
      With that said, there is no need to be aggressive. I totally understand that there are non-Habeshas in both Eritrea and Ethiopia.
      I’ve used Habesha as short-hand since the only Eritreans and Ethiopians I’ve met have identified or presented themselves as such so it’s easy to generalize. That’s all
      No disrespect meant for the other groups in the two countries

    There's also 'Tamma' , the word the Assyrian girl mentioned. In Arabic you'd say 'Thammata' to say 'There is' while in Algerian Arabic we actually say 'Temma/Themma' to say 'There' or 'Over there'

    As an Arabic native, I discovered a very important thing to notice here. Apparently Arabic (Central Semitic) had a vowel shift regarding the last word (Life) (Khayootha) (Hayiwet). In both Amharic and Assyrian, the root maintained the (ou) sound, while Arabic has shifted to the (a) sound.
    Life in Arabic is (Hayaah) or (Hayaat).
    Probably it's been written hundreds of years ago in some phonology/languages book. But it was cool to discover from the video :D

    Betty is super pretty. I speak amharic and a little bit of Arabic. It was so easy to learn for me coz z words have the same root as Amharic since both are Sematic. Also try fruits like ananas(Pineapple), Birtuka(orange), muz( banana)....Those are litterally the same words in both. Ana Ahibek ❤

    I knew we had similar words when I heard a word called ''Zemarayat"to mean Azmari literally a Singer.Traditional Singer though.I learned that Ishtar and Assyrian Nat'l Broadcasting on Arabsat were Solely dedicated to the Assyrian People.

    Very interesting! We are so focused in our differences I am sure most of us (Ethiopians)doesn’t know this similarity before. Good to know.
