The Akkadian Empire (/əˈkeɪdiən/)[4] was the first ancient empire of Mesopotamia after the long-lived civilization of Sumer. It was centered in the city of Akkad (/ˈækæd/)[5] and its surrounding region. The empire united Akkadian and Sumerian speakers under one rule. The Akkadian Empire exercised influence across Mesopotamia, the Levant, and Anatolia, sending military expeditions as far south as Dilmun and Magan (modern Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Oman) in the Arabian Peninsula.[6]

The Akkadian Empire reached its political peak between the 24th and 22nd centuries BC, following the conquests by its founder Sargon of Akkad.[7] Under Sargon and his successors, the Akkadian language was briefly imposed on neighboring conquered states such as Elam and Gutium. Akkad is sometimes regarded as the first empire in history, though the meaning of this term is not precise, and there are earlier Sumerian claimants.[8][9]

After the fall of the Akkadian Empire, the people of Mesopotamia eventually coalesced into two major Akkadian-speaking nations: Assyria in the north, and Babylonia in the south.

There are many Amharic words that are Akkadian. For Tigrigna it is almost the same as Akkadian. The Ethiopian woman understands well, but some one speaking Geez or Tigrigna would understand better. One problem is the pronunciation of Semitic words, which use guttural and pharyngeal voices, throat scratching.

[Noble Amhara]

Many semetic words were removed from Amharic because of it is throat scratching. Abysinnians like to speak softly and kindly and many times the semetic language is to rough and throat damaging! Although amharic is purely semetic in orgin it was modified by my abysinnian ancestors to make it more appropriate and speakable for Abysinnians and thus Amharic became Amhara Peoples Language!

These Arabs scream like Gurages

• I was shocked when I discovered the word " ትማል " in a dictionary of ancient semitic languages and while I was checking the etymology of a Hebrew word related to '' ዘረባ " its traces took me to ancient Himyar in Yemen.

• ሓርኢ ( in Tigrigna), ኻራ ( in Arabic ), ኣር ( in Amharic ) !!

• Only a dot differentiates the Arabic ሓእ from ኻእ ። Some Arabic words with ኻእ are written in Tigrigna with ሓእ ። The Hebrews have lost their ሓእ። Benjamin Netanyahu pronounces ሓማስ as ኻማስ in the wrong belief that he is pronouncing the word correctly. The Arabs like it and make fun of him by uttering words like ኻማስ ኻቢቢ ( ሓቢቢ )። The Egyptians make also fun of the Sudanese and the Nubians of Egypt by making them talk in their films with ሃእ instead of ሓእ ። The assumption is that blacks (slaves) are incapable of pronouncing words like ሒማር in a proper way.

[Abere]

I guess Amharic has overtime found an efficient and economic way of speaking, among the families of Semitic languages. The lengthy way of pronouncing and the high pitch of intonations heard in most Semitic language speakers is not common among Amharic speakers. Amhara are the second largest Semitic population or Semitic language speakers in the world next to Arabs whereas Maltese is one of the least-spoken Semitic languages with around 490,000 native speaker.

What a pleasant surprise! Years ago, please resign my ego here, I talked to a small English speaking audience about the root of the first word that I heard in this comparative discussion, Liba, if I heard it correctly.

My main point was the root word for love may be Lubu. አከ ሉቡ ኮተን ጃለዸ means I like (someone or something) like I like my soul. Afan Oromo speakers can compare how much they can connect with the expressions አከ ሉቡ ኮተን ጃለዸ and I love you or I love it. So, here you go to bring the verdict on it.

I showed how the word Lubu may have changed over time to love: lufu (Middle English, Old English,) luve (Old Frisian,) luba (Old High German,) lubō (Gothic,) -- pronouns. In verb forms: lov(i)en (Middle English,) lufian (Old English,) luvia (Old Frisian,) lubōn “to love” (Old High German,) lubēre (later libēre ) “to be pleasing” (Latin.)

My source is dictionary.com.

My point now is if it is possible that the words lubu, liba, lib, and love have the same root, how do they fall into the Cushitic and Semitic classifications? In other words, does this classification make sense in light of all of these?

[Misraq]

So what is the big deal if we find similar words in languages? Only low self-esteem nigggas who want to trace their root in Arabian peninsula rejoice for having and finding similar words in Arabic, hibrew and other middle eastern countries. Would middle easterns rejoice for such community with east Africans? Hell no. It will be business as usual for them.

But ancestry shoppers particularly skunnis, agames and some confused Amharas rejoice this. They shouldn't if they are well read and knowledgeable. Let's look at the following....

French, Spanish and Italians share many Latin words and features.

English, German, Flemish, Swedish Norwegian share so many common words and features

Serbians, Bulgarians, Romanians Russians and all Slavic nations share similar linguistic characteristics.

So what is the big deal? People geographic proximity to each other also yeilds to linguistics proximity. Is this a rocket science?

[Abere]

Good point! Geographic proximity is a factor involved , it this should not be what originated where. I noticed people generally in Ethiopia look for a thread to connect their roots somewhere outside. The truth is , Ethiopia is the origin. For instance, researchers agreed that the origin of Arabic language or Semitic language is in Ethiopia, not the Arab world or the middle east we know now today. But it is not uncommon to hear some to believe differently. Simply there is sea between Africa and the middle east does not mean they are not geographically connected.

Only a few Guraghe words are similar to Akkadian. I understand Guraghe has some Semitic roots, but not really like Tigrigna or Geez. Tigrigna is Akkadian or Aramaic. This is important to know.The Arabs and Jews do not recognize that Geez and Tigrigna are more ancient than Hebrew and Arabic. Hebrew is less similar to Aramaic. Amharic is more similar to Aramaic than Hebrew or Arabic. We need to do more research on this in a proper way.

Trying to find out historical connection is not feeling inferior or trying to take other identity. In Tigray, no one cares about Arabs or Jews. I think Amara also do not care about Arabs or Jews. We need to find out where we are from. Tigrayans are part of the Mesopatamia legacy. They are are social products of Hamarubi. Tigrayans are one of the people in the world who founded Mesopotamia or Babylon or Akkadia - the first empire in the world. Tigrayans are thus more ancient than Jews or Arabs.

[Horus]

ethioredsea

of your list 75% are same with Guragegna. The rest are other Semtic languagestic

I have studied Akkadian, Ugaritic, Elamite, available words. I happen to know you are talking about. There are many branches of semitic languages - western, southern etc. So not so fast. FYI, I can read the Himiyaritic scripts that you see at Yeha and in Hadramout Yemen!!!

[Abaymado]

In reality Amharic language has a lot similarity with ancient Egyptian language. It has more or less more than 300 words similarity.
Beyond that the great Nile the life saver of Egypt is under control of Amhara. that means that Ancient Egyptian and Amhara knew each other.
We are Ancient Egyptian. Agames are slaves of Arabs.

I remember a book which said there is more than 300 words similarity between the two. I am now somewhat in different world. I will try my best to read about that.
