Also don't forget to check out a video showcasing similarities between Hindi And Amharic that one of our subscribers put together: Similarities Between Hindi And Amhari...  

In today’s episode, we’ll be comparing some of the similarities between two Semitic languages, Amharic and Aramaic, with Betty (Amharic speaker) and Berta (Assyrian Neo-Aramaic speaker) challenging each other with a list of words and sentences.

Do you speak a Semitic language? If so, how much of the vocabulary were you able to understand?

Semitic languages that are most widely spoken today are Arabic, Amharic, Tigrinya, Hebrew, Tigre, Aramaic, and Maltese. There are other Semitic languages with a smaller number of native speakers.

Amharic is the official working language of Ethiopia, an Afroasiatic language and one of the Ethiopian Semitic languages. It is spoken as a first language by the Amharas and as a lingua franca by most people in Ethiopia.

Neo-Aramaic consists of several languages which are varieties of Aramaic. Among these, the Northeastern Neo-Aramaic and Central Neo-Aramaic dialects are spoken primarily, but not exclusively, by ethnic Assyrians, who are native to Iraq, Syria, Iran, and Turkey. Assyrians are among the Christian minorities in the Middle East, being members of the Assyrian Church of the East, Chaldean Catholic Church (Eastern Rite Catholics), Syriac Orthodox Church, Ancient Church of the East, Assyrian Pentecostal Church and Assyrian Evangelical Church.
