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.

I'm Egyptian ❤😃 i speak Egyptian, The Egyptian Language (Ancient/Coptic). Thanks for the video.
I love Coptic, it's such a cool language!

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

Excellent work! Berber languages have been spoken in North Africa since ancient times and extended to the Canary Islands (the extinct Guanche language).
Incredible! I just asked you yesterday to make this and you did it! Shukran!
I love this comparison of Afro-Asiatic languages so much! Thanks for doing it!
Somali alphabet and Hausa flag very cool.
It's called the Osmanya script it's like 1 of four scripts now only the latin one is really used.
am from sudan , I love Hausa language
Thanks for sharing please include more languages, Oromo is the largest spoken Cushitic language.
I love how they own have their different writen scripts by the way. 👍
I’m Hausa and I love your channel Andy I’m a big fan nagode
Love this
Great video
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.
My somali language ❤❤❤❤❤

Amazing.
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’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.
Kabeyle sounds like Maghrebi Arabic
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
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
@@Nwk843
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!
Please re upload the Tigrinya episode.
Hausa doesn’t seem to be Afro Asiatic, maybe Chadic languages themselves are its own language family. Although I’m no linguist.
Cool!
Amazing language family

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.
@@Nwk843 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.

Wolaitta almost has a Japanese sound to it, very interesting!

Coptic and arabic are related. No devate, but i think it is more debatable with other languages
Are they relative languages really? They are very different each other, why?
because the langauge family is old really old about 15-20,000yrs old additionally with many interactions with others each langauge has severly diverged but they still follow the same basic grammar which is what people look at and even then with the each of these groups there's huge variations.
@@abdiabdi524also, it's spread across half a continent of Land
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
Rok temu córka pani Erizə trzymała małego Aliego. 😂
My favorite is Sin.
Only understood somali and Arabic 😆😆 rest soundlike they were speaking same language.
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.

Ok thanks for your suggestion😃✨
Kabyle which is a dialect variant of the Amazigh/berber language has not 3 millions speakers but rather 10-12 millions speakers.
I don't know from where you took 3 millions.
Notice : nowadays Amazigh (pronounced amazir) is the preferred name opposed to berber.
As a kabyle, they are very few Maximum 5 millions, don't spread false chauvinist props boy

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
How can you say there are no native speakers for Coptic?

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

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
Berber is most similar to Semitic also Coptic
Kabyle language really got a huge influence and loanwords from Arabic
@@gurZii776 but the numbers stay the same isn't it? If numbers in other berber languages show same similarity it means the root is deeper

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.
Cushitic somali❤❤
Afro Asitiac : Sound similar
Hausa : czsghazzzbshllll
Other afro asiatic : Where the hell did this hausa came from ?
Hausa is chadic branch of the Afro asiatic.
@@user-ig7om6gu3n 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
As a Somali speaker it just sounds like a Cushitic language with alot of West African influence
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 .
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

Oromo is the best representative for cushitic languages.
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

Afro-Asian languages...what a strange term. And why do we stop here?! Why don’t we also say terrestrial, planetary galactic, and even non-binary extraterrestrial languages?, I mean, lets go full with this wokish inclusivity crap. These liberals must insert Africa in everything. However, although I am not a fan of the term "Semitic" languages, it’s at least much better than the geographical “Soviet?” vague term: “Afro-Asiatic” languages, which is a misleading and confusing term that also removes from mind any possible origin or source of Semitic languages, perhaps because the Soviets at that time were tending towards a world in which there was no national or cultural authenticity, you know, “We are all children of the workers’ revolution” or “Workers of the world, unite!.”. This term ignores that the existence of the Semitic languages in Africa, even the ancient existence, came through Canaanite-Phoenician migrations to Egypt and North Africa, and Yemeni-Sabaean to the Horn of Africa, and later Arab migrations to North Africa, and therefore they did not originate from there. This term also ignores the fact that Semitic languages do not exist exactly in Asia, because I am not sure that Arabia, the Fertile Crescent-Levant, and even Turkey, are part of Asia, even though they overlapped with Asia (and Europe), culturally and linguistically. This region exists in the middle between Asia, Africa, and Europe, and its ancient languages and cultures are different from those surrounding it, because as soon as you enter Persia, or Anatolia (Armenia, the Hittites...) we enter the range of Indo-European languages, and when we enter Africa (before the Canaanite- Phoenician expansion, settling) we enter the range of African languages. As for the term "Semitic", its main problem in my view is that the approximate time of Shem’s life was around 2500 BC, while Akkadian names were already documented for the first time in Sumerian texts around the 2500 BC too, so the "Semitic" languages predate Shem himself. And since the Sumerian language is a non-Semitic and still a mystery language until now, and Akkadian later came to dominate it, I completely agree with the new classification of the American historian and linguistic Kohan Killetz: the Canaanite-Arabian languages.
