		The Modern Hebrew language is a Semitic language of the Afro-Asiatic language family.

		Sephardi Hebrew language is the basis of Standard Hebrew and Not all that different from it, although traditionally it has had a greater range of phonemes.

	Semitic_languages LANGUAGE SCHOOL EXPLORER
		Semitic languages were among the earliest to attain a written form, with Akkadian writing beginning in the middle of the third millennium BC.
		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, and has become the main language of Israel, while remaining the liturgical language of Jews worldwide.
		All Semitic languages exhibit a unique pattern of stems consisting of "triliteral" or consonantal roots (normally consisting of three consonants), from which nouns, adjectives, and verbs are formed by inserting vowels with, potentially, prefixes, suffixes, or infixes.

	Sephardi Hebrew language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sephardi Hebrew language is the pronunciation system for Biblical Hebrew favored for liturgical use by Sephardi Jewish practice.
		When Eliezer ben Yehuda drafted his Standard Hebrew language, he based it on Sephardi Hebrew, both because this was the de facto spoken form as a lingua franca in the land of Israel and because he believed it to be most beautiful of the Hebrew dialects.
		However, the phonology of Modern Hebrew is in some respects constrained to that of Ashkenazi Hebrew, including the elimination of pharyngeal articulation and the conversion of /r/ from an alveolar flap to a voiced uvular fricative.

	Sephardi Jews \| www.somethingjewish.co.uk
		The rabbis, who, in common with all the Sephardim, laid great stress on a pure and euphonious pronunciation of Hebrew, delivered their sermons in Spanish or in Portuguese: several of these sermons have appeared in print.
		Their thirst for knowledge, together with the fact that they associated freely with the outer world, led the Sephardim to establish new educational systems wherever they settled; they founded schools in which the Spanish language was the medium of instruction.
		In Amsterdam, where they were especially prominent in the seventeenth century on account of their number, wealth, education, and influence, they established poetical academies after Spanish models; two of these were the Academia de los Sitibundos and the Academia de los Floridos.

	Hebrew at Dartmouth/FAQ
		The use of the name Ivrit for Modern Hebrew was in fact a loud political statement, to the effect that Hebrew was no longer going to be a holy language of the synagogue and Cheder, but a secular modern language.
		The dominant Israeli or American Hebrew pronunciation, which is often called 'Sephardi', is just a DERIVATIVE of traditional Sephardi pronunciation, but without their characteristic guttural 'ayin' and 'chet'.
		Of all the pronunciations that have survived, by far the closest to ancient Hebrew is the Yemenite.
