who are semites?
The term Semites is applied to a group of peoples closely related in language, whose habitat is Asia and partly Africa. The expression is derived from the Biblical table of nations (Genesis 10), in which most of these peoples are recorded as descendants of Noah's son Sem. The term Semite was proposed at first for the languages related to the Hebrew by Ludwig Schloezer, schlÃ¶zer In'eichhorn S, repertorium. vol
