1. Semitic: This is the most widely known branch, containing languages like Arabic, Hebrew, Amharic, Tigrinya, and Akkadian (extinct).
2. Egyptian: This branch only contains the extinct language of Ancient Egyptian, but it is the best documented and understood of the Afro-Asiatic languages.
3. Berber: This branch includes the Berber languages of North Africa, such as Tamazight, Kabyle, and Tuareg.
4. Cushitic: This branch is found in northeastern Africa and includes languages like Somali, Oromo, and Afar.
5. Omotic: This branch is located in Ethiopia and includes languages like Oromo, Sidamo, and Bench.
6. Chad: This branch is found in central and northern Chad and includes languages like Hausa, Kanuri, and Zaghawa.
7. Afro-Asiatic isolates: These are languages that are not clearly related to any of the above branches, such as the extinct language of Kushitic.
It's important to note that the relationships between these branches are not always clear-cut, and there is ongoing research to better understand the internal structure of the Afro-Asiatic family.
