Modern Hebrew and Arabic are closely related as both belong to the Semitic language family, sharing similar grammar structures, roots, and vocabulary. Both languages use a triconsonantal root system, where words derive from three base consonants — for example, كتب (k-t-b, "write") in Arabic mirrors כתב (k-t-b) in Hebrew.
