[QUOTE]Originally posted by Leo Minor: [QB] “Arabian” Arabic and old South Arabian are not partially that old Semitic languages in comparison to Akkadian and Eblaite 2800 BCE. Arabic= 9th c. BC Sabaeans of Yemen — 9th to 1st c. BC Aksumites — 4th c. BC to 7th c.AD Ebla located in north Syria houses one of the oldest Semitic languages. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eblaites http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/276/1668/2703.abstract [i]From the most recent paper on the origin of Semitic.[/i] Furthermore, Eblaite (no Eblaite wordlists were available for our study), the closest relative of Akkadian and the only other member of East Semitic, was spoken in the Levant (specifically the northeast Levant or present-day Syria; Gordon 1997), which is also where some of the oldest West Semitic languages were spoken (Ugaritic, Aramaic and ancient Hebrew). The presence of ancient members of the two oldest Semitic groups (East andWest Semitic) in the same region of the Levant, combined with a possible long interval (100–3000 years) between the origin of Semitic and the appearance of Akkadian in Sumer, suggests a Semitic origin in the northeast Levant and a later movement of Akkadian eastward into Mesopotamia and Sumer (see figure 1 for a map of our proposed Semitic dispersals).
