توزيع اللغات الأفروآسيوية مبينة بالأصفر

اللغات الأفروآسيوية (أي الحامية السامية) منتشرة في شمال أفريقيا، شرق أفريقيا، والشرق الأوسط، وتنقسم إلى:

ولغة عونغوتا نعتبر إحدى اللغات الأفروآسيوية، لكن دورها فيها لا يزال غير مؤكد.

كان العلماء يقسمونها بين فرعي اللغات السامية واللغات الحامية، لكن لا يعتبر ذالك الآن. فيبدو أن اللغات الأوموتية هي الأبعد عن اللغات الأخرى في المفردات والنحو، وكل اللغات الأخرى فرع آخر.

السمات المشركة

السمات المشتركة للغات الأفروآسيوية تتضمن:

  • a two-gender system in the singular, with the feminine marked by the /t/ sound,
  • VSO typology with SVO tendencies,
  • a set of emphatic consonants, variously realized as glottalized, pharyngealized, or implosive, and
  • a templatic morphology in which words inflect by internal changes as well as with prefixes and suffixes.

In the verbal system, Semitic, Berber, and Cushitic (including Beja) all provide evidence for a prefix conjugation:

الإنجليزية العربية (سامية) قبيلي (بربر) صومالي (كوشية) بجا (الفعل هو "وَصـَلَ")
he dies يموت يـِموت wudimta iktim
she dies tamuutu temmut wedimata tiktim
they (m.) die yamuutuuna mmuten wedimtan iktimna
you (m. sg.) die tamuutu temmuteḍ wadimate tiktima
you (m. pl.) die tamuutuuna temmutem wadimatan tiktimna
I die ˀamuutu mmuteɣ wadimta aktim
we die namuutu nemmut wadimana niktim

All Afro-Asiatic subfamilies show evidence of a causative affix s, but a similar suffix also appears in other groups, such as the Niger-Congo languages.

Semitic, Berber, Cushitic (including Beja), and Chadic support possessive suffixes.

Tonal languages appear in the Omotic, Chadic, and Cushitic branches of Afro-Asiatic, according to Ehret (1996). The Semitic, Berber, and Egyptian branches do not use tones phonemically.


Cognates

Some sample Afro-Asiatic cognates:

  • b-n- 'build' (Ehret: *bĭn), attested in Chadic, Semitic (*bny), Cushitic (*mĭn/*măn 'house'), Berber (*bn) and Omotic (Dime bin- 'build, create').
  • m-t 'die' (Ehret: *maaw), attested in Chadic (for example, Hausa mutu), Egyptian (mwt *muwt, mt, Coptic mu), Berber (mmet, pr. yemmut), Semitic (*mwt), and Cushitic (Proto-Somali *umaaw/*-am-w(t)- 'die'). Also Mot, Canaanite god of death. (The Proto-Indo-European root *mor-/mr- 'die' is similar, evidence in favor of the classification of both Afro-Asiatic and Indo-European in the hypothetical Nostratic family.)
  • s-n 'know', attested in Chadic, Berber, and Egyptian.
  • l-s 'tongue' (Ehret: *lis' 'to lick'), attested in Semitic (*lasaan/lisaan), Egyptian (ns *ls, Coptic las), Berber (ils), Chadic (for example, Hausa harshe), and possibly Omotic (Dime lits'- 'lick').
  • s-m 'name' (Ehret: *sŭm / *sĭm), attested in Semitic (*sm), Berber (ism), Chadic (for example, Hausa suna), Cushitic, and Omotic (though some see the Berber form, ism, and the Omotic form, sunts, as Semitic loanwords.) The Egyptian smi 'report, announce' offers another possible cognate.
  • d-m 'blood' (Ehret: *dîm / *dâm), attested in Berber (idammen), Semitic (*dam), Chadic, and arguably Omotic. Compare Cushitic *dîm/*dâm, 'red'.
