Abstract
The Arabic branch of Semitic forms part of the West Semitic language group. It is grouped alongside Northwest Semitic and Ancient South Arabian as Central Semitic. In addition, Arabic together with Ancient South Arabian has participated in two linguistic areas, one with Canaanite and Aramaic, the other with (the ancestor of) Modern South Arabian and Ethiopian, explaining certain linguistic features shared between these branches (Huehnergard 2017: 7–11, Huehnergard and Rubin 2011).
