Is Ugaritic a Canaanite Dialect?
View through CrossRef
[Ugaritic does not share in the features which are most characteristic of Canaanite, in particular the Canaanite innovations. Hence it cannot be classified as a dialect of the Canaanite branch of Semitic. Ugaritic displays, however, a definite relationship to the language of the Amurrites, for which the name ‘East Canaanite’ is to be rejected. A part of the alleged Old Canaanite' words preserved in Egyptian transliteration likewise originate with the Amurrites, who played an important rôle in Palestine as well as in Syria.]
