Our alphabet comes from Latin

2018-04-23 23:53:11 UTC  

Which comes from greek

2018-04-23 23:53:21 UTC  

So where did the Greeks get their language?

2018-04-23 23:53:34 UTC  

Hebrew

2018-04-23 23:53:35 UTC  

Indo-European language groups

2018-04-23 23:53:42 UTC  

Germanic languages are not Semitic

2018-04-23 23:53:46 UTC  

Curb your autism

2018-04-23 23:54:03 UTC  

Look at the similarities between Hebrew and greek

2018-04-23 23:54:10 UTC  

I'm talking about the alphabet

2018-04-23 23:54:13 UTC  

Any linguist will fill you in on how European languages formed

2018-04-23 23:54:15 UTC  

Not the spoken language

2018-04-23 23:54:17 UTC  

Ah

2018-04-23 23:54:29 UTC  

Well some letters are entirely European

2018-04-23 23:54:33 UTC  

The R for instance

2018-04-23 23:54:41 UTC  

^

2018-04-23 23:54:47 UTC  

Vowels too

2018-04-23 23:54:55 UTC  

Yeah Hebrew has no vowels

2018-04-23 23:55:00 UTC  

Making it really shitty to read

2018-04-23 23:55:05 UTC  

But what I'm saying, look at the first four letters of greek and hebrew

2018-04-23 23:55:12 UTC  

Which is why no one seems to know God’s name 100%

2018-04-23 23:55:20 UTC  

It's just YHWH

2018-04-23 23:55:26 UTC  

No one knows how to pronounce it

2018-04-23 23:56:26 UTC  

I’ve heard some people say Yahuwah, Yahweh, Yehowah, Jehovah

2018-04-23 23:56:39 UTC  

So yeah no one seems to know really

2018-04-23 23:56:50 UTC  

Anyway,

We have Alpha/Aleph
Beta/Bet
Gamma/Gimmel
Delta/Dalet

2018-04-23 23:58:02 UTC  

That’s quite the observation

2018-04-23 23:58:16 UTC  

The Greeks for Greek from the Phoenicians who were close allies with the Israelites

2018-04-23 23:58:42 UTC  

The Phoenicians and Tyrians were very skilled with their ships and went to the Mediterranean

2018-04-23 23:59:30 UTC  

There's actually a cliff in South America with Phoenician/Paleo-Hebrew words written on it. The Phoenicians probably reached America first before most

2018-04-24 00:00:29 UTC  

What I'm saying is that we got our written language from Japheth and got our letters from Shem

2018-04-24 00:02:22 UTC  

Interesting take

2018-04-24 00:03:02 UTC  

Shit i meant spoken language and words and stuff we got from Japheth

2018-04-24 00:03:17 UTC  

But the alphabet is phoenician

2018-04-24 00:03:41 UTC  

which were close relatives with the Israelites and they built the temple with the Israelites

2018-04-24 00:03:50 UTC  

It still seems like a bit of a stretch to call it Semitic though

2018-04-24 00:03:58 UTC  

Semitic in the beginning

2018-04-24 00:04:21 UTC  

Phoenicians wrote in a Semitic language: Hebrew

2018-04-24 00:04:44 UTC  

A genetic Hebrew comes from a man named Eber, who was a descendant of Shem.

2018-04-24 00:05:03 UTC  

S(h)emitic

2018-04-24 00:06:12 UTC  

We even have words from Aramaic and Hebrew
