	Hebrew language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		For this reason, over half the population pronounces ר as [ʀ], (a uvular trill, as in Yiddish and some varieties of German) or as [ʁ] (a uvular fricative, as in French or many varieties of German), rather than as [r], an alveolar trill, as in Spanish.
		The revival of Hebrew is often cited by proponents of International auxiliary languages as the best proof that languages long dead, with small communities, or modified or created artificially can become living languages used by a large number of people.

	German language - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		The dialects of German which are or were primarily spoken in colonies founded by German speaking people resemble the dialects of the regions the founders came from (for example Pennsylvania German resembles dialects of the Palatinate, or Hutterite German resembles dialects of Carinthia).
		There are many English loanwords in German, and a somewhat smaller number of German loan-words in English.
		Hebrew traditionally (nowadays this is not the case) used the term Ashkenaz to refer to Germany, or to certain parts of it, and the Ashkenazi Jews are those who originate from Germany and Eastern Europe and formerly spoke Yiddish as their native language, derived from Middle High German.

		My list of loanwords is probably far from complete.
		It has, consequently, in not a few cases, been difficult to decide whether a word is a loanword or not...

	English language - Gurupedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		English is descended from the language spoken by the Germanic tribes, the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes (Vikings), that began populating the British Isles around 500 AD.
		In some Irish varieties, /and#952/ and /ð/ become the corresponding dental plosives, which then contrast with the usual alveolar plosives.
		The voiceless velar fricative (/x/) is used only by Scottish or Welsh speakers of English for Scots/Gaelic words such as loch (`lax) or by some speakers for loanwords from German and Hebrew like reich (raix) or channukah (xanuka), or in some dialects such as Scouse (Liverpool) where it is used instead of 'ck'.
