Afro-Asiatic language

Any of a family of languages spoken throughout the world. There are two main branches, the languages of North Africa and the languages originating in Syria, Mesopotamia, Palestine, and Arabia, but now found from Morocco in the west to the Gulf in the east.

The North African languages include ancient Egyptian, Coptic, and Berber, while the Asiatic languages include the largest number of speakers – modern Arabic – as well as Hebrew, Aramaic, and Syriac. The scripts of Arabic and Hebrew are written from right to left.
