I think theyre both semitic from M.East which is a subfamily of the afro-Asiatic family. Language relationships are quite easy to prove by various comparative techniques. Is your idea that they came later and adopted the structure and vocabulary, reorganizing every word to fit the triliteral root system that characterizes semitic languages? Have you noticed "oriental" (not a term) languages have tones and do not resemble Hebrew in any way? Does the theory crumble without shoehorning Jews into it as others
I was just saying things off the top of my head with the Oriental remark but I think the connection is legitimate and furthermore, I am interested to have the input of a linguist.
Aramaic, the language of jesus, arabic, hebrew, back to the cradle of civilizAtion, all same folks. That's why their religions are all plagiarisms of each other

Coloboma angle is great but you don't want one sloppy nonfact to undermine it
