Proto-Semitic Language Development ~4000–2500 BCEThe triconsonantal system (words based on three consonants with vowel variations to change meaning) is a defining feature of Semitic languages, and its presence can be traced back to Akkadian, Ugaritic, and some Afroasiatic languages.Some scholars suggest that the triconsonantal system in Semitic languages evolved from an earlier Afroasiatic pattern.
