		Hebrew is the official language of the state of Israel.

	Hebrew > Hebrew Language > History
		In its widest sense, Classical Hebrew means the spoken language of ancient Israel flourishing between the 10th century BCE and the turn of the 4th century CE.[2] It comprises several evolving and overlapping dialects.
		Mishnaic Hebrew is considered one of the dialects of Classical Hebrew that functioned as a living language in the land of Israel.
		This Tiberian Hebrew from the 7th to 10th century CE is sometimes called "Biblical Hebrew" because it is used to pronounce the Hebrew Bible, however properly it should be distinguished from the historical Biblical Hebrew of the 6th century BCE, whose original pronunciation must be reconstructed.

		All three are still mutually exclusive (in words derived from Hebrew roots), however due to /w/w merging with /v/, /x/ merging with /kh/, and the introduction of initial /f/ through foreign borrowings, none remained strictly allophonic (that is, incapable of creating a minimal pair).
		Although Modern Hebrew pronunciation does not differentiate between the two, the latter is historically weaker due to its being a semi-vowel (/w/).
		Hebrew has two kinds of stress ("taa'm"): on the last syllable ("milra'") and on the penultimate syllable (the one preceding the last, "mile'l").

	Hebrew phonology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hebrew phonology must take into account that the Hebrew language has been used primarily for liturgical, literary, and scholarly purposes for most of the past two millennia.
		Although modern Hebrew pronunciation does not differentiate between the two, the latter is historically weaker due to its being a semi-vowel (/w/).
		In Modern Hebrew, however, all six sounds are phonemic, due to mergers involving formerly distinct sounds (/v/ merging with /w/, /k/ merging with /q/, /x/ merging with /ħ/), loss of consonant gemination (which formerly distinguished the stop members of the pairs from the fricatives when intervocalic), and the introduction of syllable-initial /f/ through foreign borrowings.

	Hebrew language at AllExperts
		Hebrew, long extinct outside of Jewish liturgical purposes, was revived at the end of the 19th century by the Jewish linguist Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, owing to the ideology of Zionism.
		The Soviet authorities considered Hebrew a "reactionary language" since it was associated with both Judaism and Zionism, and it was officially banned by the Narkompros (Commissariat of Education) as early as 1919.
		Hebrew functioned as the local mother tongue, Aramaic functioned as the international language with the rest of the Mideast, and eventually Greek functioned as another international language with the eastern areas of the Roman Empire.

	Ashkenazi Hebrew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ashkenazi Hebrew language is a descendant of Biblical Hebrew favored for liturgical use by Ashkenazi Jewish practice.
		Its phonology was influenced by languages with which it came into contact, such as Yiddish and various Slavic languages.
		Although Modern Hebrew was based on Sephardi Hebrew, the language as spoken in Israel is essentially Sephardi Hebrew utilizing Mishnaic spelling, constrained to Ashkenazi Hebrew phonology, including the elimination of pharyngeal articulation and the conversion of /r/ from an alveolar flap to a voiced uvular fricative or trill.

		Hebrew phonology must take into account that the Hebrew language has been used primarily for liturgical purposes for most of the past two millennia.

		Although modern Israeli Hebrew pronunciation does not require a differentiation between the two, the latter is pronounced like an Arabic /q/, a pronunciation that is becoming more frequent in Israeli pronunciation, although it remains undifferentiated in the Hebrew of most non-Israeli speakers, especially among Ashkenazim.

		Hebrew is one of the three official languages of Israel (alongside Arabic and English), and is spoken by some 4.8 million people in that country.
		Modern Hebrew is unusual in that while its past and future forms are true verb forms which agree in person, number, and gender, for the present tense it uses a participle agreeing only in gender and number, as seen in the masculine singular forms ani/ata/hu lomed "I/you/he learn" and the feminine singular forms.
		The core stock of Modern Hebrew vocabulary is drawn from the Hebrew of the Bible and the Talmud, and to a lesser extent from later periods of written Hebrew after it had ceased to be a spoken language.

		As the Hebrew calendar was developed in the region east of the Mediterranean Sea, references to seasons reflect the times and climate of the Northern Hemisphere.
		Only four pre-exilic month names appear in the Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible): Aviv (first; literally "Spring", but originally probably meant the ripening of barley), Ziv (second; literally "Light"), Ethanim (seventh; literally "Strong" in plural, perhaps referring to strong rains), and Bul (eighth), and all are Canaanite names, and at least two are Phoenician (Northern Canaanite).

		Currently, the only community of Hebrew-speakers which expresses this in speech are Yemenite Jews, whose Hebrew did not lose them, as other communities did under the influence of Yiddish and other European languages); however the emphasis led to several types of phonetic change that still exist.
		The exact nature of the emphatic feature is a matter of debate; the most commonly suggested possibilities are pharyngealization (as in Arabic) and glottalization (or the ejective mechanism) (as in the Ethiopian Semitic languages).
		In Modern Hebrew, however, all six sounds are phonemic, due to mergers involving formerly distinct sounds (/v/ merging with /w/, /k/ merging with /q/, /x/ merging with /ħ/), loss of consonant gemination (which formerly distinguished the stop members of the pairs from the fricatives when intervocalic), and the introduction of syllable-initial /f/ through foreign borrowings.
