According to the Academy of the Hebrew Language, in 1880s (the time of the beginning of the Zionist movement and the Hebrew revival) there were mainly three groups of Hebrew regional accents Ashkenazi (Eastern European), Sephardi (Spanish/Portuguese/Italian), and Mizrahi (Middle Eastern - largely used by Israelis of Iraqi, Moroccan, Tunisian, Egyptian, Syrian, and Yemeni heritage).

peaceWhat does that got to do with the ancient seafaring people called "The Phoenicians" ?
Phoenician's 'home ground' was not in Yemen..However there are (or were) MANY Yemenite Jews... as also there are MANY Ethiopian Jews.. as shown by that link you've posted.. And according to the 'rumors' the so-called "Abu Hurayrah" (Daddy of the kitten) whose name appears many times in the Sunni's book of rumors and highly regarded as 'prophet's close and trusted companion' by the Sunnis.. was also a Yemenite Jew.. that explained his utmost hatred toward dogs and pigs...
PS If one try to analyze the historical facts.. he/she should do it 'objectively'.. and not letting 'today's political conflict' and/or one's own nationality / social identity or hatred and enmity towards certain group of people clouded his/her judgement...

And sorry to say Pazuzu.. the Phoenician's 'home ground' is not in Yemen..
They are seafaring folks originated in the Levant.. or in today's Lebanon + northern Israel to be exact. From there they traveled and establish cities / colonies around Mediterranean sea which includes Tunisia (Carthage), Italy (Genoa), Spain (Carthagena, Barcelona), France (Marseille) and many others..Originated in the Levant?
Well allow me to say Sorry Jafar, but you are dead wrong.
Arabia is the source of all Semitic migrations. The so-called Phoenicians, originally came from the coast of the Red Sea, in South West Arabia, where they were sea-faring people. They migrated North to the Levant, and became sea-faring peoples of the Meditteranean.
Why don't you look at this "Phoenician" alphabet of yours, and pay close attention to the letters
aleph - ba- ja - da- ha- wa - z.....notice anything familiar??
It is the exact same as the Arabic alphabet, with the exception of 6 missing letters. You expect me to believe that these people magically "appeared" in the Levant and brought with them the SAME alphabet that was spoken as far south as Yemen?
Of course, the arrogant Lebanese, who think that God created them and then broke the mold, are always boasting about how their "ancestors", the Phoenicians, invented the alphabet. But the truth is, they invented NOTHING. The people of Sheba and Thamud had their own written alphabet since before 1500 BC.
You can check for yourself, a sample of a Sheban inscription unearthed near Hadaramawt (I wonder why "Hazaramaveth" is mentioned BY NAME in the Torah hmm). This carved block sits in the Louvre Museum, and is alone enough to expose Jafar's false beliefs.

Jafar continues to stubbornly deny what the anthropologists of the 19th and 20th Century have confirmed concerning the origin of the Phoenicians, and how they reiterated the very same truth that was known to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who had combed every inch of the Levant area.
Listen to Herodotus' words
According to the Persians best informed in history, the Phoenicians began the quarrel. These people, who had formerly dwelt on the shores of the Erythraean Sea (the southern part of the Arabian peninsula-Yemen), having migrated to the Mediterranean and settled in the parts which they now inhabit, began at once, they say, to adventure on long voyages, freighting their vessels with the wares of Egypt and Assyria?
?Herodotus
Of course, Jafar can never be convinced. He will label Herodotus as "delusional", or accuse him of inventing lies, because no matter what proofs are brought before him that the Phoenicians, along with their miserable alphabet, came from Arabia, he will still stubbornly refuse the truth.
Even modern Christians are starting to accept the truth concerning the source of Semitic peoples, because they can no longer deny science.

But Jafar will continue to insist that the Phoenicians magically "appeared" on the Mediterranean coast.
And I'm telling you now that THERE WAS NEVER SUCH THING AS A HEBREW LANGUAGE. EVER.
This is a Zionist invention.The so-called "hebrew" alphabet you see today is the squared Aramaic script!!
See for yourselves

Do you know how old the city of Najran is? I will tell you it is over 4000 years old. You can go and research this all you want.
This city predates Mecca, predates Jerusalem, and predates Babylon.
Now concerning Arabia, I will venture even further by saying this
Arabia is not only the craddle of Semitic races, and ancient civilizations, but the craddle of LIFE itself on this planet. The first human beings appeared there, near the "elbow" of the Arabian pennisula. And I will say this even to the face of those scientists who discovered 50,000 year-old skeletons in Ethiopia.
The problem is that the earth and soil of Arabia have not been excavated. The Saudis don't know what they are sitting on.
But I promise you that a day will come, perhaps in our lifetime, when the Surat Mountains of Arabia, their valleys, plains, and ancient river beds will be heard. They will spill forth their secrets concerning the origins of human life, and how our humanoid ancestors crawled out from egg shells (earth embryos) in the muddy swamps.
When Allah addressed Muhamad and his people by telling them
{Roam the land and observe how the creation was initiated. Thus Allah will establish the final creation. Allah is capable of all things}...
Allah knows full well what He is talking about, and what this land was that that He mentioned.
It wasn't Ethiopia.
And it wasn't Palestine either.
According to the Academy of the Hebrew Language, in 1880s (the time of the beginning of the Zionist movement and the Hebrew revival) there were mainly three groups of Hebrew regional accents Ashkenazi (Eastern European), Sephardi (Spanish/Portuguese/Italian), and Mizrahi (Middle Eastern - largely used by Israelis of Iraqi, Moroccan, Tunisian, Egyptian, Syrian, and Yemeni heritage).
There is no such thing as a "Hebrew Language".
Yemen is the origin of Judaism.

The "Phoenicians" were a cousins of The Assyrians which were a cousin of "Indo-Iranian" people coming from the north.
http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andronovo_culture
That explained the many similarities between Phoenicians script and Assyrian Aramaic script..
And we're talking about 3000-1500 BC here...Why don't you look at this "Phoenician" alphabet of yours, and pay close attention to the letters
aleph - ba- ja - da- ha- wa - z.....notice anything familiar??

Of course the so-called 'Arabic alphabet' IS a derivation and extension from phoenician script..
It influence then grew far south to Yemen and Ethiophia....Of course, the arrogant Lebanese, who think that God created them and then broke the mold, are always boasting about how their "ancestors", the Phoenicians, invented the alphabet. But the truth is, they invented NOTHING. The people of Sheba and Thamud had their own written alphabet since before 1500 BC.
Lebanese unlike the Yemenites doesn't see that "God created them and then broke the mold" or let alone 'boasting about their ancestor the Phoenicians'.. Lebanese doesn't have that crisis of 'identity and pride' which commonly felt among Yemenites today...

I've check it and it's dated 700 BC!! And not 1500 BC as you claimed earlier..
Stop the delusion.. Pazuzu//Jafar continues to stubbornly deny what the anthropologists of the 19th and 20th Century have confirmed concerning the origin of the Phoenicians, and how they reiterated the very same truth that was known to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who had combed every inch of the Levant area.
Yes of course the Greeks and Romans basic intentions was Invasion...
They will try to show that those 'filthy native people' are just a bunch of 'barbarians'.. subject for 'slavery' or 'massacres'...Little did the Romans knew that The Phoenicians was in fact their ancestor as well....
Greek boys f***d Phoenicians girls and VOILA.. The Romans is born...It's strange for me to find that you trust "Herodotus" and his cohorts.. the 'imperialist' of ancient times..
I tell you that their attitude are MUCH WORSE than today's Zionist...Of course, Jafar can never be convinced. He will label Herodotus as "delusional", or accuse him of inventing lies, because no matter what proofs are brought before him that the Phoenicians, along with their miserable alphabet, came from Arabia, he will still stubbornly refuse the truth.
My friend I think you should snap out from your dream....
But Jafar will continue to insist that the Phoenicians magically "appeared" on the Mediterranean coast.
No they didn't... see above...
Most definitely THEY"RE NOT COMING FROM YEMEN!And I'm telling you now that THERE WAS NEVER SUCH THING AS A HEBREW LANGUAGE. EVER.
This is a Zionist invention.
The so-called "hebrew" alphabet you see today is the squared Aramaic script!!As there were never such thing as "ARABIC LANGUAGE" either...
This is "Arab Nationalist" invention...Yemen is the origin of Judaism.
Right.. Yemen is the origin of ALL THINGS.. just like you said.. (or perhaps just like you dream of)
Adam was in Yemen, Eve was in Yemen, Noah was in Yemen, Enoch was in Yemen, Abraham was in Yemen, Lot was in Yemen, Pharaoh was in Yemen, Moses was in Yemen, Muhammad was in Yemen, Mike Tyson was in Yemen, Isaac Newton was in Yemen.
Yemen is the source of Gold, Silver, Silk, Incense.. and all of the sort of valuable resources.
Yemen is the holy land.. while those area outside Yemen were just a filthy unholy land which contains nothing...
Yemenites is the 'choosen people' and non-Yemenites are lesser people who should be subjugated to serves Yemenites..Hmmmm sounds familiar?
But then again.. there are no compulsion in judgement as truth stands out clear from error..
You are free to believe anything that you want..Salam / Peace

You gave a link from wikipedia so did I, in what way its biased and not objective confused
It is an obligation upon all believers to search for the truth and to strive against wrong. To expose a tyrant country, which prides itself in being the only democracy in ME , and whose people have had access to the best education yet behave like savages is doing God's work. The Zionist entity that calls itself Israel is at present responsible for most conflicts in the world, all because they use the books of Allah to claim superiority over the whole world. No it's clearly our duty as Muslims to expose that lie against Allah.
I have had the opportunity to go to university with Israeli students and I was aghast at the arrogance of those students when treated as equal to the rest of us. I pitied them seeing that it was not their fault. They have been fed this lie, that Israelis are a superior race, since childhood and the sooner they learn that they are not superior to any other race the better it will be for them.That said I have searched my soul to see if it's inbread predjuce which shaped my reply to you and after sleeping on it I assert that I have nothing whatsoever against Jews, Christians or Sunnis etc so long as they adhere to the best of conduct.
Allah says in the Qur'an 49;13 O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted
This and many other ayat from the Qur'an confirm that Allah has not given superiotiy to any one group of people due to their origin. However, when we read in the Qur'an that the children of Israel were favoured over the rest of the world it seems to conflict, but wiith Pazuzu's findings this puzzle is resolved. All three books were given to the children of Israel in the same area and they were reminded of this favour over the rest of the world, but this favour was conditioned on keeping the covenant with God. The people of the book were not required to desert their book in favour of the final revelation. This shows that God did not make any book to be superior over others as they are all part of the same revelation, but He expects us all to follow our respective covenant and uphold His word to the rest of the world.

Hi,
now the propanganda goes one step forward and link the U.S. natives to hebrew, this is better done on a media propaganda channel they have
http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgnRN-GOLLI&feature=relatedThey still speaks about hebrew when all linguist know a simple fact
hebrew-samaritan-phoenician alphabet is the same!!!!!!But still it is their discoveries thus their alphabet 0
It makes me think the same when they say
"We protect democracy all around the world" like if they were the owner and inventor of that system!!!!!peace

Hebrew and Aramaic are both sister language which have been historically both used by the Hebrew People.
Some of the Bible books were written in Aramaic, and there are some refrences to aramaic words in the Torah itself (e.g Laban, uncle of Jacob (who was from Paddan-aram) called the pile of stones Yegar- sahadutha (Aramaic) but Jacob called it Gal-Ed (Hebrew for "heap of witness".Also, the Quran Cites a Language used which is the tongue of David and Jesus. If you read David's Psalms, you will see that they are in Hebrew. Also, Jesus must have known some Aramaic, as some biblical books are again written in Aramaic, and also because it can be said that it was the lingua franca during that time period.
"Condemned are those who disbelieved among the Children of Israel, by the tongue of David and Jesus, the son of Mary. This is because they disobeyed and transgressed.(Quran 57

http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9601944.10God has favoured all peoples, in one way or another. There are no priviledged people. To think on one's people as more favoured is only a temptation to vanity and going astray. Each peopla has its destiny, all of them created by God and all of them equally worth living.
In my view all the bible talk about chosen people and the expectation of a redeemer who must come from such and such people is an invitiation to distortion of the real destiny of humanity and of the fraternity of all peoples and persons and their equal worth. More favoured in respective things, closer to God, or with advantage over others, no.
And the Qur'an says prophets have been sent to all people. This is very forgotten. The lineage that is talked of in the Qur'an is simply an ilustration of general Prophethood in each circumstance, it is not a reduction or a list of the Prophets or the best rophets and that is also one reason why, plce or age does not matter particularly, because we are not concerned with unique circumstances that may be necessary for anything. Something in the sense of Those are prophets, there are many, but a prophet may be like this. It is not to be taken as something exclusive.
Muslims, followers of the Qur'an have been very much taken in the trap of linking their history and meaning to some Christian or Judaic patent, as if they were of the same stock, but it is not so. Qur'an is universal, all peoples have had prophets. We are not bound to any lineage because we had to wait for some messiah or other. We may not know them all world's prophets are our Prophets, and that is why we are not interested in any particular plight of any people in history as more significant than any other. All plights are significant. An that is why it is silly to expect that God is intent in setting this or that in Egypt or in Arabia or wherever, although, if the revelation is made to Muhammad it is logic that the revelation is going to illustrate its messages in those themes that are close to the people among which Muhammad lives and has grown, and not on the anciente history of ppeoples which are not the immediate matter of those among which he lives. The revelations desended in Japan or Mexico will relate to those themes that are known to the people of Japan or Mexico, logically.
An universal culture has been greatly dammaged by that exclusivity of Prophethood claimed by the Judaic-Christian tradition.The Qur'an does not support exclusivity nor uniqueness of revelation and that is why I support Pazuzu's efforts of the efforts of anyone who wants to undo the dammage caused by monopolistic religion.
A time will come, I hope, in which people know more about other traditions and other revelations and assumme fully that it "has always rained over all of humanity" and not just over a few handpicked.

Had We sent down this Qur'an on a mountain, verily, thou would have seen it humble itself and cleave asunder for fear of Allah, such are the similitudes which We propound to men, that they may reflect.
Humility, not arrogance is the trait of those who made a covenant with God and accepted to convey the word forward. It's not just a privilege but a trust given to us humans.

I would think arrogance/pride/racism should be deemed a psychological disorder D
I mean look at all of us, God Guided us to this, and we're from all over the world!
God's Grace is infinite; The Jews, the Christians, and even the Muslims do not own His Grance;
no one owns his grace!
Who has not sinned? Who is pure and 100% perfect?
Have you note noted the Doctrine of Jesus? "Whoever Exalted himself will be debased" and "Whoever Humbles Himself will be exalted". This is the truth because the Devil is the most profound example i can cite.518 "And the Jews and the Nazarenes said "We are the children of God, and His loved ones." Say "Then why does He punish you for your sins?" No, you are merely human beings which He has created. He forgives whom He pleases, and He punishes whom He pleases. And to God is the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that is in-between, and to Him is the destiny.

On your first post you show a burner with Aramaic writing. You say it was dug up in South Arabia, near Najran, but I did not find this information on the website of the Saudi National Museum. I found the burner, though, under Aramaic inscriptions. Can you please give a link? It would also be helpful if other proof on Aramaic being found in South Arabia so as not to consider the burner a one-off non specific incident.
As far as I know, the ancient language of South Arabia is the Sabaean. Such links will change a lot of theories built on my understanding.
This is a copy paste from the site of the Saudi Museum
Notes on the Origin and Development of Writing in Arabia
It is generally thought that writing gradually developed from the human, animal and other figures that prehistoric artists had been depicting on rocks for thousands of years before the first alphabets. Thousands of petroglyphs are located all over the Arabian Peninsula. To many observers, the various phases of rock art suggest that such images were initially created as an aesthetic activity, but they later became increasingly symbolic and semantic.
Writing was an important means of communication between the Arabian Peninsula and the civilizations of Mesopotamia, Syria and Egypt. Writing is thought to have originated around 3500 BC in Mesopotamia and perhaps originated independently in Egypt as well. The oldest scripts are known as Cuneiform in Mesopotamia and Hieroglyphic in Egypt. These writing systems had developed over time from the use of pictographs, signs and symbols. The available evidence suggests that writing might have developed in the Arabian Peninsula from the early Sinatic script around 2000 - 1500 BC.
By around 1000 BC two families of ancient writings had developed in the Arabian Peninsula. The one in the north (the North Arabic family) was called Musnad al-Shamali and the one in southern Arabia (the South Arabic family) was called Musnad al-Janubi.
Musnad al-Shamali (North Arabic) spread out around the first millennium BC through northern Arabia, and from this developed the Lihyanite, Safaitic and Aramaic writing systems, which flourished in the north of Arabia around the middle of the first millennium BC. From Aramaic Nabataean script and from Nabataean, Arabic writing developed.
Meanwhile the use of South Arabic forms of writing also expanded, and developed into the Sabaean, Qatabani, Hadrami, and Hassanean scripts.
With the rise of Islam, Arabic spread all over the region, both north and south, and the more ancient writing forms vanished. Thus none of these other writing systems has been in common use in Arabia for around 1,400 years.

Yes, the oldest written alphabet in Arabia was Sabaean (Sheban), which dates back to somewhere between 2000 BC and 1500 BC ( although Thamudic also vies for this).
I did not have access to the link for the Museum website. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. The information I got was from an article written by a group of people of Bahrainy, Iraqi, and Saudi Arabian nationality. These were the same people who co-wrote the book "Nida'a al Surat" (Call of the Heights). There is no one single author who claims the rights to that book.
Perhaps they spoke with the Museum curator and he told them this information (that the insense burner was uncovered in the south of Saudi Arabia??).. Anyway, how else could it be? The Saudis have not been known to STEAL archeological artifacts from OTHER'S lands and put them on display in their own museums, have they?? This is only something the CIVILIZED WEST is famous for doing. (Which explains the presence of Sheban inscriptions in the LOUVRE Museum of Paris).
Anyway, thank you for the link. I will definately check it out again and see what I can find.
Peace...

Hello Pazuzu
Yes I know, precisely in the Arabian Peninsula.
But Arabia is a vast Peninsula. Some pieces were discovered in the South, some in the North.
The site also speaks of two big language families Aramaic in the North and Sabean in the South.
For the Aramaic inscription it shows this vase on the page I copy-pasted, but could not copy paste the photos; and for the Sabean it shows the stone of Abraha found in Yemen. However, it does not say where exactly the vase was found, and this was my question how you knew it was found in the South.If the vase was found anywhere in the North, then it is normal. If it was found in the South, then to have any significance, more inscriptions in Aramaic should be found besides it, or we should expect some commentary from Archaeologist as to why it was there, contrary to their own theory concerning the distribution of languages as explained on the same page.
