The Afro-Asiatic language family was formerly called Semitic-Hamitic, or, occasionally, Hamito-Semitic. It consists of languages spoken in north Africa and in the Near East, both in the past and presently. Afro-Asiatic is comprised of the Hamitic and Semitic branches. Hamitic consists of four sub-branches, all found in north Africa: Egyptian, Berber, Cushitic, and Chadic; it includes such languages as Coptic, Tamazight, Tuareg, and Hausa. The Semitic branch is divided into East and West sub-branches, and is found in both the Near East and in north Africa. East Semitic includes Akkadian and Chaldean. West Semitic is further divided into Northern and Southern West Semitic, and includes such languages as Aramaic, Syriac, Hebrew, Arabic, Amharic, Maltese, and Punic.

I’m sorry what is this about? It’s like posting a page from Wikipedia or something. Why did you post this on FR and what are we supposed to infer from it?

[SunkenCiv]

Sorry I pinged ya to it twice. Oh wait, that was you.

[SunkenCiv]

Yeah, it’s a pretty good site, although there may have been more than one author, as there are inconsistencies and/or disagreements, plus the aforementioned broken links, one of which you have encountered. That one is particularly bad, because there’s a link to the missing page on all the other pages. :’)

[SunkenCiv]

Pesky Asiatics. :’)

[Jack Black]

Yes, I pinged you twice. Can you answer either one of them? In other words, what is this about?

[SunkenCiv]

So, you one of the thread cops, or just can’t read?
