If based on spoken language then yes. However; alone does not always make a complete ethnic classification.

The Semitic languages are a branch of the Afroasiatic language family originating in the Middle East.[1] They are spoken by more than 330 million people across much of West Asia, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, Malta, in small pockets in the Caucasus[2] as well as in often large immigrant and expatriate communities in North America, Europe and Australasia.[3][4] The terminology was first used in the 1780s by members of the Göttingen School of History,[5] who derived the name from Shem, one of the three sons of Noah in the Book of Genesis.
The most widely spoken Semitic languages today, with numbers of native speakers only, are Arabic (300 million),[6] Amharic (~22 million),[7] Tigrinya (7 million),[8] Hebrew (~5 million native/L1 speakers),[9] Tigre (~1.05 million), Aramaic (575,000 to 1 million largely Assyrian speakers)[10][11][12] and Maltese (483,000 speakers).[13]
