	JewishEncyclopedia.com - VOCALIZATION:
		The most marked difference between the usual system of vocalization and the one discovered in 1839 is in the position of the vowel-signs.
		The objection that Tiberian is also Palestinian is not valid: the latter probably dates from a time when the Tiberian was not yet in existence, a supposition borne out by internal evidence.
		In trying to determine the date when vocalization was first introduced the terminus a quo and the terminus ad quem must first be ascertained.

		Het systeem Tiberian van vocalization voor Tanakh vertegenwoordigde zijn eigen lokale traditie.
		In tegenstelling tot het systeem Tiberian, welk meestal klinkerpunten in het kader van de Hebreeuwse brieven plaatst, het systeem Babylonian plaatst hen meestal boven de brieven, en zo wordt genoemd "supralinear" vowelisation.

		Tiberian Hebrew is an extinct oral tradition of pronunciation for ancient Hebrew, especially the Hebrew of the Tanakh, that was given written form by masoretic scholars in the Jewish community at Tiberias in the early Middle Ages, beginning in the 8th century.
		Two other local traditions that created written systems during the same period are referred to geographically as the vocalization of the "Land of Israel" (not identical to Tiberias; perhaps the South of the country) and the Babylonian vocalization.

		Unlike the Tiberian system, which mostly places vowel points under the Hebrew letters, the Babylonian system mostly places them above the letters, and is thus called the "supralinear" vowelisation.

		As a matter of fact, the prevalent view in some of these grammars is the use of David Qimchi's system of "short" and "long" vowels.
		Most prominent, the use of chateph chireq in five words under a consonant which follows a guttural vocalized with regular chireq, as described by I.
		The Yemenite tradition has preserved old Tiberian features, such as the pronunciation of schewa according to its proximity to gutturals or yod; some features of its own, and others which were taken from the Babylonian pronunciation.

		One way or another, Tiberian pointing, as represented by the Masoretic text, appears to be the most popular as early as the tenth century C.E. and won the day by the thirteenth century C.E.[11] Versions of this text have been enshrined in printed Hebrew Bibles since.
		Once again, the Tiberian pointing in the MT is only one of three pointing systems (which indicates that there was disagreement over what was the "correct" pronunciation).
		Instead, the use of Tiberian pointing should be limited to aiding students with their pronunciation, since "proper" vowel pronunciation is not necessary for translation accuracy.

		The values assigned to the Tiberian vowel signs reveals a Sephardi tradition of pronunciation (the dual quality of qames (אָ) as /a/, /o/; the pronunciation of simple schwa (אְ) as /ɛ̆/).
		The phonology of Tiberian Hebrew can be gleaned by the collation of various sources:
		Tiberian Hebrew distinguishes seven vocalic qualities, regardless of length: /u/,/i/,/e/,/ɛ/,/ɐ/,/ɔ/,/o/ אֹ אָ אַ אֶ אֵ אִ אֻ.

	RECORDING OF THE VOWEL SIGNS TO THE TEXT OF THE OT
		Vocalization and vowel signs were developed there during the late fifth to ninth century AD.
		Three systems of vocalization worked out by them are known, a Babylonian, a Palestinian, and a Tiberian, the latter of which is found in most manuscripts and the printed texts.
		The amount of vocalization is generally fuller in the latter, while the biblical texts, which had a strong tradition of reading, have relatively fewer vocalization signs but many accentuation signs.

	Tiberian vocalization - Definition, explanation
		Tiberian Hebrew is an oral tradition of pronunciation for ancient forms of Hebrew, especially the Hebrew of the Bible, that was given written form by masoretic scholars in the Jewish community at Tiberias in the early middle ages, beginning in the 8th century.
		Two other local traditions that created written systems during the same period are referred to geographically as the vocalisations of "The Land of Israel" (not identical to Tiberias) and "Babylon".
		As mentioned above, the Tiberian points were designed to reflect a specific oral tradition for reading the biblical text.

		So the statement that the MT (Tiberian) tradition definitely repesents the pronounciation in the years BCE is inaccurate or misleading.
		This is what I mean by "encoding." However, the Massoretic Tiberian vocalization is also quite deficient with respect to First Temple period names, since it was put down to writing for the first time over a thousand years after the First Temple period ended.
		Tiberian distinguishes various vowels which you call "a" (patah vs qamats), and quite a few vowels which you call "e" (seghol, tsere, schwa, hataf-seghol).

		The history of vocalization of the text is utterly unknown to us.
		It has been suggested that dogmatic interpretation clearly led to certain punctuations; but it is likelier that the pronunciation was part of Massorah long before the invention of punctuation.
		The Tiberian Massoretes also introduced a great many accents to indicate the tone-syllable of a word, the logical correlation of words and the voice modulation in public reading.

		Moreover, beginning in the second half of the eighth century amid political turmoil in the caliphate of Baghdad, the Karaites, a schismatic Jewish sect, posed a grave threat to rabbinical authority by opposing traditional biblical commentary in a back-to-the-text movement.
		Saadia, for example, was a vehement holdout for the Babylonian school of vocalization, and an outspoken opponent of the Karaites and of ben Asher, who some believe may have belonged to the sect.
		It is no accident that many of the first books printed in Europe were bibles, including Gutenberg’s Mazarin Vulgate (1455), the vocalized Hebrew Soncino folio (1488), and the vocalized Hebrew Brescia quarto (1494), a copy of which Luther used for his translation.

	SOPHIA OF WISDOM III - THE ALEPPO CODEX 1
		Modern studies have shown it to be the most accurate representation of masoretic principles to be found in any extant manuscript, containing very few errors among the millions of orthographic details that make up the masoretic text.
		Ben-Asher was the last and most prominent member of the Ben-Asher dynasty of grammarians from Tiberias, which shaped the most accurate version of the Masorah and, therefore, the Hebrew Bible.
		When the Aleppo Codex was complete (until 1947), it followed the Tiberian textual tradition in the order of its books, similar to the Leningrad Codex, and which also matches the later tradition of Sephardic biblical manuscripts.

		In reading the Bible, the Yemenites use the Tiberian vocalization and masorah; however, they give the Tiberian vocalization signs the values they had in the traditional Babylonian pronunciation.
		Thus, no distinction is made in the Yemenite pronunciation between Tiberian pathah and segol since in the Babylonian pronunciation of Hebrew these two vowels were identical.
		This is readily proved by comparing the morphology of post-biblical Hebrew as reflected by the Yemenite pronunciation with the morphology of Hebrew as represented by manuscripts of Mishnah and Midrashim possessing Babylonian vocalization.

		So while Tiberian Massoretic Hebrew was not the same as spoken during Biblical times, it developed from such.
		Certain elements in Tiberian Massoretic Hebrew, the possessive singular masculine ending -kha for instance, is more plausibly explained a remnant from Biblical times than a Tiberian "invention" because even though it is not found in Greek and Latin transcriptions, it is found in the DSS.
		Rather, the Massoretic vocalization of these specific words is later, perhaps after this particular Mishqal was displaced by another in personal names.

	Unit One - Hebrew Letters
		Hebrew is called a “consonantal” language because its words are formed from root letters that remain the same regardless of grammatical form.
		Vowel marks were added later by the Tiberian scribes in order to retain the memory of original vocalization but are not considered basic to the language.
		After studying this unit, you should be able to read, write, and recite the entire Hebrew Aleph-Bet, both in print letters and in modern Hebrew script.

	The Samaritan Pentateuch
		The SamP has been corrupted by scribal errors.
		The SamP text preserves a linguistic tradition which differs from that of the Tiberian grammarians (Samaritan 'Hebrew' generally represents a later stage of developement than that of the Tiberian (MT) vocalization).
		The SamP has been 'modernized' by replacing archaic Hebrew philology with a later tradition (The SamP also frequently introduces "pseudo-cohotative" forms, an archaizing practice in late Hebrew writing).

	Australian Information from Wikipedia
		In the Hebrew Bible the word is also used to speak of priests and kings, who were traditionally anointed; the king of Persia, Cyrus the Great, is referred to as "God's anointed" (messiah) in the Bible.
		In Standard Hebrew, the messiah is often referred to as ××× ×”××©××—, MÃ©leá¸« ha-MaÅ¡Ãaá¸¥ (in the Tiberian vocalization pronounced MÃ©leá¸µ hamMÄÅ¡Ã®Âªá¸¥), literally meaning "the Anointed King."
		Today, the various Jewish denominations have sharp disagreements about the nature of the Messiah and the Messianic Age, with some groups holding that the Messiah will be a person and other groups holding that the Messiah is a representation of the Messianic Age itself.

	The Revised Fabulous Version: Pharyngealized Consonants in Tiberian Hebrew
		I'd like to posit that this cannot be the case for Tiberian Hebrew.
		Of course, whether such a distinction was maintained at all times and in all dialects is probably imposible to tell, but interesting nonetheless.
		Speculation aside, it would be interesting to double-check the graphemes of Tiberian Hebrew against Babylonian and Palestinian vocalization to see if any tradition has these "emphatic" consonants influence their neighboring vowels.

		The decision how to vocalize lhnyx (x for het) in the berakha for tefillin is actually between two different Hebrew words, both in the hif`il form (I'm not a linguist myself, so I won't start talking about the roots of these words): (a) Lehoniax, which is derived from the same root as menuxa, 'rest'.
		Word (a) occurs in the benshn [Grace After Meals] in the imperative form, correctly vocalized by Birnbaum in the Shabbat addition: honax-lonu (could also be honeax), where it means "give us rest." The wrong vocalization would be "hannax lonu" 'leave us alone' which would be blasphemous.
