The present research demonstrates that Hamito-Semitic root is a complex word consisting of a number of elements agglutinated together and expressing a concrete or special meaning. The linguistic elements of any traditional root can be easily divided into ‘a primeval root, called proot’ compounded with another proot or old grammatical affixes. All such elements are originally separate words, each having a well-defined meaning or grammatical function.The above-mentioned facts about...

The present research demonstrates that Hamito-Semitic root is a complex word consisting of a number of elements agglutinated together and expressing a concrete or special meaning. The linguistic elements of any traditional root can be easily divided into ‘a primeval root, called proot’ compounded with another proot or old grammatical affixes. All such elements are originally separate words, each having a well-defined meaning or grammatical function.
The above-mentioned facts about Hamito-Semitic roots are in accord with old Arab scholars’ view on Classical Arabic root structure. Besides Classical Arabic, Old Egyptian furnishes full evidence supporting every single detail of such facts.
The research also demonstrates that proots discovered in Hamito-Semitic family are found in all other families of languages and there is no language family which has completely lost any of such proots. To prove this fact scientifically, a deep comparative study is conducted between Hamito-Semitic and Indo-European. The study demonstrates incredible similarities in sound correspondences, in proots, in traditional roots and their derivatives, and in their grammatical systems.
The research also compares, though briefly, Hamito-Semitic with the oldest known documents of the Sino-Tibetan family. The purpose of this special comparative study is to demonstrate that the very same proots are found in Sino-Tibetan, that this family is originally inflectional, and that there exist a striking grammatical similarities between the two language families.
The discovery of the ‘proot’ radically changes our views of language and its evolution in the course of time, opens a window on prehistory by uncovering the hidden life of language, and shows how languages belong together and how they are related.
