Arabic and Semitic languages (common characteristics and effects)
Abstract
The study of the Arabic language and its comparison with its equivalent from the Semitic languages is one of the important and necessary studies in all circumstances and times, and at a time when there is much controversy about the origins of these languages, and their various influences from within these languages or from other foreign languages, especially since a team of modern linguists has appeared, some of them Arabs and most of them non-Arabs (mostly orientalists), inclined in their opinions to denial and exaggerated ideas, so they attributed Arabic words used by the ignorant to foreign origins, and claimed that it is a word expressed in other languages (such as Syriac, Hebrew, Abyssinian or others), merely appearing or similar in those languages. Their argument in this was that the Arabs were ignorant, illiterate, pagan Arabs, and that the words that they saw were foreign, words with religious, political, social, literal or other connotations, so they could not be from the heart of Arabic, they must be an emergency that was originally alien and then Arabized, and their first and last goal in that was to challenge the Holy Qur'an. For this purpose and in order to preserve the heritage of our Arabic language and our Holy Quran, so it was necessary to delve into the field of this study to find out some proofs and evidence that prove the position of the Arabic language from the Semitic languages and to know the strength of influence and influence among them, and to stand on the characteristics of those languages, so it was better to start with a simplified knowledge about the Arabic language and its position among the Semitic languages, and to provide a brief explanation of the characteristics of the Semitic languages, and to distinguish the characteristics that make the Arabic language the first in the Semitic languages, This prompts us to know the common and non-common characteristics of the Semitic languages, and to identify the effects to which the Arabic language has been exposed from the Semitic languages.
