The Faifi language, from a Semitic branch further to Arabic than Hebrew or Aramaic. Though after over a thousand years of contact it has been heavily influenced by Arabic.

The Kingdom of Dedan and the Kingdom of Lihyan. Ancient Semitic -non-Arabic- kingdoms in western Arabia (Hejaz) from the 2nd and 1st millennium BCE, until they were annexed by the Nabatean Kingdom in 24 BCE, eventually bringing Arabic to Hejaz.

Ethiopian script is a derivative of Old South Arabian script and a relative of Old North Arabian script and the only surviving member of the South Semitic family.
The script was completely replaced by Nabateo-Arabic in the Arabian Peninsula surviving only in the epigraphic record and Ethiopian shops’ signs; and as part of tourism promotion in alUla

And more critically, again from the paper named above:
"To consign #Arabic, script and civilzation, to the category 'non-African' is to perform a historical erasure with a triple consequence: the erasure of a millenium-long early cosmopolitanism driven by the Arabic script; its displacement by a claim that #Africa lacks a written tradition, and that the African tradition is oral, making the story of #Ethiopia and the #Amharic script another #Semitic exception in the African story; and finally, the identification of the written tradition in Africa with the dominance of #European power, the spread of European languages and overwhelming presence of the #Latin script."
Ibid.

Map showing select #Phoenician / #Canaanite colonies and settlements with their known or reasonably suggested endonymic names.
This map is more information card than eye-candy, with a look-up table of settlements, being a review of almost 90 different sources. As always all information is on the image. There are two versions here: A and B, with B being for if A is too hard to read.
I did try to automate citations due to the ridiculous amount of reading. There may be errors due to the software.

Qasr Faird, or the lonely palace, is a unique Nabatean tomb in terms of size, placement, design and the fact that its owner died before it was completed and so was never buried in it.

Anyway, as you likely know, lunisolar calendars have to add an extra month every few years to keep them in sync with the sun. Sumerian and #Semitic calendars add the extra month at the same position whenever necessary, but the #ChineseCalendar is much more complicated (though in some ways it makes sense). Let me explain.

I think I'm just going to start putting #Muslim as my ethnicity wherever it is requested
No form ever has a box for my actual #ethnicity
The #Semitic etymology of my name means that I'm "Muslim by default" regardless of my actual religious beliefs
So from now on, my ethnicity will be #Muslim
The concept of #rebirth and resurrection was common to many #ancient #Semitic #religions. This was particularly prevalent in #Phoenician religion, where it was a part of the cult of Melqart. Melqart was often #Hellenized as Adonis, and was related to the ancient #Sumerian #Dummuzi, #biblical #Tammuz, where rebirth and resurrection figured highly.

TIL that the Punic surname “Barca”, as in the Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca (and his father Hasdrubal), is Phoenician for “lightning”. I don’t know how I never made the connection before, given that Phoenician is Semitic and I speak Hebrew (where the same √brq root is also used to mean “lightning”). I guess my brain is just in full on Latin Mode or something when I’m thinking of ancient Rome? Anyway - Hannibal “Lightning” Barca! ⚡️

A number of Semitic scripts. There was a family of scripts indigenous to the Arabian Peninsula but were replaced with the Arabic script that originated in the Levant. The Ethiopian script (Ge’ez) is descended from Sabaean (Old South Arabian).
