The term 'Semitic' refers to a language family that includes Arabic and Hebrew. These two languages are both considered Semitic languages, as they share many similarities in terms of grammar, syntax, and vocabulary. Arabic is spoken by over 300 million people in the Middle East and North Africa, while Hebrew is spoken by around 9 million people in Israel and other parts of the world. Both languages have a long and rich history, and are still widely used today.
