Difference between Proto-Germanic language and Semitic languages

Proto-Germanic language vs. Semitic languages

Proto-Germanic (abbreviated PGmc; German: Urgermanisch; also called Common Germanic, German: Gemeingermanisch) is the reconstructed proto-language of the Germanic branch of the Indo-European languages. The Semitic languages are a branch of the Afroasiatic language family originating in the Middle East.
