The vast majority of Afroasiatic languages are considered indigenous to the African continent, including all those not belonging to the Semitic branch.Arabic, if counted as a single language, is by far the most widely spoken within the family, with around 300 million native speakers concentrated primarily in the Middle East and North Africa. Other major Afroasiatic languages include the Chadic Hausa language with over 34 million speakers, the Semitic Amharic language with 25 million, and the Cushitic Somali language with 15 million. Other Afroasiatic languages with millions of native speakers include the Cushitic Sidaama language, the Semitic Tigrinya language and the Omotic Wolaitta language, though most languages within the family are much smaller in size. There are many well-attested Afroasiatic languages from antiquity that have since died or gone extinct, including Egyptian and the Semitic languages Akkadian, Biblical Hebrew, Phoenician, Amorite, and Ugaritic. There is no consensus among historical linguists as to precisely where or when the common ancestor of all Afroasiatic languages, known as Proto-Afroasiatic, was originally spoken. However, most agree that the Afroasiatic homeland was located somewhere in northeastern Africa, with specific proposals including the Horn of Africa, Egypt, the eastern Sahara, and the Levant. The reconstructed timelines of when Proto-Afroasiatic was spoken vary extensively, with dates ranging from 18,000 BC to 8,000 BC. Even the latest plausible dating makes Afroasiatic the oldest language family accepted by contemporary linguists.

The Afroasiatic languages are a language family of about 400 languages spoken predominantly in Western Asia, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, and parts of the Sahara and Sahel. Over 500 million people are native speakers of an Afroasiatic language, constituting the fourth-largest language family after Indo-European, Sino-Tibetan, and Niger–Congo. Most linguists divide the family into six branches: Berber, Chadic, Cushitic, Egyptian, Semitic, and Omotic. The vast majority of Afroasiatic languages are considered indigenous to the African continent, including all those not belonging to the Semitic branch.

The Afroasiatic languages (or Afro-Asiatic, sometimes Afrasian), also known as Hamito-Semitic or Semito-Hamitic, are a language family (or "phylum") of about 400 languages spoken predominantly in Western Asia, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, and parts of the Sahara and Sahel. Over 500 million people are native speakers of an Afroasiatic language, constituting the fourth-largest language family after Indo-European, Sino-Tibetan, and Niger–Congo. Most linguists divide the family into six branches: Berber, Chadic, Cushitic, Egyptian, Semitic, and Omotic. The vast majority of Afroasiatic languages are considered indigenous to the African continent, including all those not belonging to the Semitic branch.Arabic, if counted as a single language, is by far the most widely spoken within the family, with around 300 million native speakers concentrated primarily in the Middle East and North Africa. Other major Afroasiatic languages include the Chadic Hausa language with over 34 million speakers, the Semitic Amharic language with 25 million, and the Cushitic Somali language with 15 million. Other Afroasiatic languages with millions of native speakers include the Cushitic Sidaama language, the Semitic Tigrinya language and the Omotic Wolaitta language, though most languages within the family are much smaller in size. There are many well-attested Afroasiatic languages from antiquity that have since died or gone extinct, including Egyptian and the Semitic languages Akkadian, Biblical Hebrew, Phoenician, Amorite, and Ugaritic. There is no consensus among historical linguists as to precisely where or when the common ancestor of all Afroasiatic languages, known as Proto-Afroasiatic, was originally spoken. However, most agree that the Afroasiatic homeland was located somewhere in northeastern Africa, with specific proposals including the Horn of Africa, Egypt, the eastern Sahara, and the Levant. The reconstructed timelines of when Proto-Afroasiatic was spoken vary extensively, with dates ranging from 18,000 BC to 8,000 BC. Even the latest plausible dating makes Afroasiatic the oldest language family accepted by contemporary linguists.

Sound of Afroasiatic languages.
Afroasiatic is a language spoken by Middle eastern and Horn African peoples.
It is divided in 5 branches:
*Berber languages
*Cushitic languages
*Omotic languages
*Semitic languages
*Egyptian languages (extinct)
Afro-asiatic peoples built the greatest civilisations and empires on earth(Egyptian,Babylonian,Sumerian,Carthagian,Assyrian,Islamic and Abyssinian empire).
The great religions ( Judaism , Islam and Christianism) are all from Afroasiatic peoples.
Aramaic was spoken by Jesus Christ,the founder of Christianism.
Hebrew is the language of Judaism.
Arabic is still used by muslims around the world as liturgical language.
Here we look at the origins of the Afro Asiatic language group, from its origins dating back to the last ice age in the Levant… and into Saudi Arabia and down the coast to the horn, and changing… to entering the Egyptian delta and past, to mingle with endemics there and become the Libco Berber language in North Africa ( which was all called Lybia at the time) and expanding to the horners and deep across the Sahara Desert… and eventually Africa, which was named by and for endemic caucasian people of North Africa. We also take a look at the “flaxen haired originators of Egypt” and joe tho the waned a little in the Middle Kingdom to intermediate period, it regained its prominence in the 18th dynasty ( Tuthmoses , Akhenaten , king Tut… on to SETI and Ramses ect…) and their own reserve heads show it, and Hemuinu: the Architect of the Great Pyramid itself, what do you see…?
