Dear Razib,

I posted this comment on the Samo Burja podcast post but am reposting here:

Do you agree with my account regarding the origin and spread of the Semitic languages? I think an article regarding this topic would be great.

Here's what I have so far:

Iranians migrate to the Levant, primarily bringing with them J1, and meeting an Afroasiatic, natufian-descended people who spoke proto-Semitic. The mixed Iranian-Levantine spread east and form the akkadians.

The first Semitic language to spread to Arabia was a South Semitic language, then Arabic spread to the peninsula from the southern Levant, replacing South Semitic. Regarding the pre-Semitic inhabitants of Arabia, my is guess they were a ~100% natufian-descended population.

Thanks for reading my post.
