In linguistics and ethnology, Semitic (from the Biblical "Shem", Hebrew: שם, translated as "name", Arabic: ساميّ) was first used to refer to a language family of largely Middle Eastern origin, now called the Semitic languages. This family includes the ancient and modern forms of Akkadian, Amharic, Arabic, Aramaic, Ge'ez, Hebrew, Maltese, Phoenician, Tigre and Tigrinya among others.

As language studies are interwoven with cultural studies, the term also came to describe the extended cultures and ethnicities, as well as the history of these varied peoples as associated by close geographic and linguistic distribution.

A. There is a history there... A lot of Latin-Americans (mostly Mexicans & Central Americans) have Semitic ancestry . It all goes back to the Arab & Muslim invasion of Spain. It was the darker Spaniards (those of Semitic ancestry) that mixed with the indigenous American population.
