Hebrew and Arabic!

I recently found out that hebrew and Arabic are so closely related together in grammer and words.

Like,

(Whats ur name)
shem kha?? in hebrew,
esmokum in Arabic,
Beth al Maqdes in Arabic,
Beth ha Makdesh in hebrew,
Shalom in Hebrew,
Salam in Arabic,
Ma means (what) in Arabic and hebrew.
Midrasha means institute in Hebrew,
Medressa in Arabic.
all the numbers sound similar as well,
like these 1 to 10:
ehad, shnyim, shalosha, arba’a, khamesha, shisha,shiva’a, shmona, tisha, assara in hebrew
while,
wahed,athnain, thalatha, arbaa,khamsa, sittah, sab’ah, tamaniyah, tissa’a, ashara in arabic.

And much other.

Interesting !

I wonder if Arabic was influenced by Hebrew or it was other way around. Which ever way it was but certainly both languages are similar. One can not help but notice some very familiar word spoken in the movie ’ Passion of the Christ’.

no im not..i wrote a 20 page paper on it for heaven’s sake!
Hebrew is way older, yes. But the language itself was developed, into the form that it is in today, during the middle ages in Spain. Most of the Jewish scholars/intellectuals wrote in Arabic on (science, poetry etc) because it was the language of the day. It was these Jewish scholars, fluent in Arabic, who later developed a proper Hebrew grammer under heavy Arabic influence. Check out any book on Islamic Spain and read through the parts related to jews and you’ll know what im talking about. Just because a language is older doesn’t mean it cant be influenced by other/newer languages
