Semitic

Semitic refers to a group of related languages and the peoples who speak them, originating in the Middle East. This includes languages like Arabic, Hebrew, Amharic, and Aramaic. Historically, the term describes a cultural and linguistic connection among these groups, many of whom share ancient roots and similar linguistic features. Today, "Semitic" is often used in academic contexts to discuss language families, cultural history, and ethnicity. It does not imply any particular race or religion but is primarily a classification based on shared linguistic and historical traits among certain Middle Eastern peoples.
