The term "Semitic γλωσσών" refers to a branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family that includes languages spoken primarily in the Middle East and parts of North Africa. Key languages in this group include Hebrew, Arabic, and Amharic. These languages share common linguistic features, such as root-based morphology, where words are formed from a set of consonants. Semitic languages have a rich history and are associated with ancient civilizations, including the Babylonians and Phoenicians. They are also significant in religious contexts, as Hebrew is the language of the Jewish Bible, and Arabic is the language of the Quran.
