Semitic languages are Afro-Asiatic...No Romance or Germanic extraction?
That's easy. Either a Semitic language, a Slavic language, or Greek. After all, "Indo-European" seems a bit open-ended here. So
Mind you, "Afro Asian" also includes the ancient Egyptian language afaik.
Perhaps the Greeks have driven the Egyptians to the South,
and instead of the Christian kingdom of Ethiopia in OTL we see the Empire of the Pharaos still in existence ...
