>Hebrew, Aramaic and a few other languages fall under the definition of a Semitic language........that's right, according to Merriam Websters online dictionary.

And that's correct... they're all from the Middle East! That's the definition of "Semitic".

P.S.: The word "Semite" is derived from the name "Shem' (literally meaning "name", actually). In the Bible, Shem was one of Noah's sons and supposedly the father of the Middle East.
