Hebrew and Arabic are both Semitic languages, which means they share some similarities in grammar and vocabulary. However, they are distinct languages with different alphabets, phonology, and syntax.

Is Akkadian similar to Hebrew?

Akkadian is a Semitic language and, therefore, shares a number of base roots with Hebrew.
