 Hebrew language - Theo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Hebrew was reborn as a spoken language during the late 19th and early 20th century as Modern Hebrew, replacing Arabic, Ladino, Yiddish, and other languages of the Jewish diaspora as the spoken language of the majority of the Jewish people living in Israel.
While the term "Hebrew" as a nationality is customarily used to refer to the ancient Israelites, it has been postulated that the classical Hebrew language was essentially identical to the language spoken by their neighbors, the Phoenicians and Canaanites.
Hebrew is therefore not spoken by them nor is it understood much by the vast majority of Jews in many areas outside of Israel where there are large Jewish populations, especially in countries such as Argentina, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Russia, South Africa, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

 The Hebrew Name for God - YHVH
In Himself, God is beyond all “predications” or attributes of language: He is the Source and Foundation of all possibility of utterance and thus is beyond all definite descriptions.
In Hebrew the sacred Name is called Shem HaMeforash, “the ineffable Name.” Attempts to provide an exposition of the Name have come to be known as Shelosh Esreh Middot, or the Thirteen Attributes of God and are usually based on exegesis of Exodus 34:6-7 (mystical speculation about the Name is found in Kabbalistic literature).
This is a convention is many Hebrew prayerbooks and dikdukim (grammars) to avoid casually writing or reading the Sacred Name.

Hebrew poetry is destitute of meter in the strict sense, and also of rhyme, though this last occurs in some isolated cases (see below, III, 1, [4], c and e).
Poets wrote under strong impulse, usually religious, and without recognizing any objective standard, though all the time they were supplying data for the rules of prosody.

And poets want you to pay that sort of attention, too — to the language you read and use and to your life.

Poets are constantly beckoning their readers to stay alert to the things of this world — both the familiar things that become invisible to you through habit, and the miraculous things right in front of you that you're too busy to notice.

 Learn To Speak Hebrew Like A Diplomat
Hebrew had been a living language, that is, it was spoken as a native langauge by a community of people, at least until the First Century B.C., and possibly for several centuries after that.
Hebrew thus was kept in continous familiarity, and in the last century successful efforts were begun to revive it as a modern language.
It is being taught to immigrants speaking a wide variety of native languages, and the goal is to have all the inhabitants learn to speak it.

 Jewish Language Research Website: Judeo-Spanish / Judezmo / Ladino
In the beginning of the 21st century, Judeo-Spanish is an endangered language for lack of new native speakers.
Harris (1994: 197-229) lists 24 reasons for the present status of Judeo-Spanish, including the attitude towards Judeo-Spanish and what it represented, the geographical dispersion of speakers, their assimilation into other communities, and their decrease in number after the Holocaust.
Hebrew influence is revealed through loan translations as well, as in El Santo Bendicho El ('God'), a reflection of Hebrew haqadoš barux hu ('The Holy One Blessed Be He'), kamino de leche i miel ('good journey', literally: 'a way of milk and honey'), a reflection of ḥalav udvaš ('milk and honey').

 Moshe Nahir - Micro-corpus codification in the Hebrew Revival
Predictably, the greatest obstacle to the adequacy of Hebrew as a full-fledged vernacular was the acute shortage of words, especially in the areas of daily modern life and in specialized areas such as science and technology.
Like the shift to Hebrew, this aspect of the Revival was also achieved within 2.5 decades through the cumulative efforts of the "language planning agents" in the field—educators, writers, poets, translators, editors, etc.—as well as countless language-conscious individuals in and out of the technological occupations.

Language is not understood in a narrowly philological or linguistic sense, but as encompassing the literary exploitation of linguistic effects and the influence of formal rhetoric on prose.
Latin is the language not only of numerous Arthurian chronicles - including the most important of all, Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia regum Britannie - but also of a small number of important but largely neglected romances concerning Arthur and his knights.
Many new formations from other languages are revealed - some of the borrowings recorded in Latin centuries before their appearance in written vernacular sources.

Aviv introduces the theme by relating her childhood confusion over which was her true language-the German spoken at home by her immigrant parents, or the Hebrew spoken on the street and at school.
In the process of learning Hebrew, however, they also had to decide whether or not to retain the language of their childhood-whether, in short, to forget their cultural past or to somehow integrate it within their new Israeli identity.

 Robert Friend's Translations
Robert Friend, who died in January 1998 in Jerusalem, was one of Israel's most prominent English language poets and translators.
He taught English and American Literature at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem for over thirty years, at the same time becoming well-known as a poet (writing in English) and as a translator of Hebrew poetry.
The forms and language are not flamboyant; there is no sense here of one man bending others’ material to his own flavoured tone and idioms and diction, of making earlier material incongruously contemporary; the poems feel, in the best sense, ‘transparent’.
