Semites spoke Semitic languages, a family of languages that includes Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic, Amharic, and Tigrinya. The term "Semite" was originally a linguistic one, referring to speakers of these languages, but it was later corrupted in the 19th century into an ethnic category, often used in an antisemitic context to refer specifically to Jewish people.

Proto-Semitic is the ancestral language from which all Semitic languages are descended.
