How Do You Spell SEMITAE?

Pronunciation: [sˈɛmɪtˌiː] (IPA)

The correct spelling of the word "Semitae" is actually "Semite". According to the IPA phonetic transcription, the "ae" diphthong should be pronounced as /iː/. This means that the correct vowel sound should be a long "e" sound, not a combination of "a" and "e". Semite refers to a member of any of the peoples who speak or spoke a Semitic language, including Hebrews, Arabs, Assyrians, and Phoenicians, among others.
