Abstract
Arabic is the language of the Holy Quran, a branch of a group of languages known to Orientalists as Semitic languages, and Orientalists have spent considerable efforts to study these languages, and wrote many books and researches about. The Semites are the languages that the orientalist Schulzer called the Hebrew, Abyssinian and Syriac languages. Naturally, every language that has moved away from its native country has been subject to changes, including Arabic and other Semitic languages. There are similarities and differences between Arabic and other Semitic languages. The researcher chooses the German Orientalist Karl Brucklmann, who spent considerable efforts in studying and balancing the Semitic and Arabic languages. His book Verbs addresses and analyzes many aspects to find similarities and differences between them in relation to the verbs in the Arabic language. Dr. Ramadan Abdul-Tawab says that "There is no doubt that there are many benefits to the linguistic lesson of the learner's knowledge of Semitic languages which would not have reached us if our study was limited to Arabic" The paper, therefore, is limited to the verb in the Semitic languages as this is tackled in Brockelman's Book The Philology of the Semitic Languages.
