About the language
Modern language is an official language of Israel and is different to older forms of Hebrew – often called Biblical Hebrew – which are used in Jewish religious texts and prayers. Spoken Hebrew died out as an everyday language for more than 1,500 years but was revived in the 19th century. After Israel, the United States has the second largest Hebrew speaking population.

Hebrew
It was natively spoken by the Israelites and remained in regular use as a spoken language by their longest-surviving descendants, the Jews and Samaritans, before dying out after 200 CE. However, it was largely preserved as a liturgical language, featuring prominently in Judaism (since the Second Temple period) and Samaritanism. Having ceased to be a dead language in the 19th century, today’s Hebrew serves as the only successful large-scale example of linguistic revival. It is the only non-extinct Canaanite language, and is also one of only two Northwest Semitic languages still spoken, with the other being Aramaic.
The earliest examples of written Paleo- date back to the 10th century BCE. Nearly all of the Hebrew Bible is written in Biblical language, with much of its present form in the dialect that scholars believe flourished around the 6th century BCE, during the time of the Babylonian captivity. For this reason, Hebrew has been referred to by Jews the holy tongue’ or ‘the tongue [of] holiness’) since ancient times. The language was not referred to by the name Hebrew in the Bible, but as Yehudit (transl. ’the language of Judah’) or Səpaṯ Kəna’an (transl. ”the language of Canaan”. Mishnah Gittin 9:8 refers to the language as Ivrit, meaning Hebrew; however, Mishnah Megillah refers to the language as Ashurit, meaning Assyrian, which is derived from the name of the alphabet used, in contrast to Ivrit, meaning the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet.
Fun facts of language
- The language is written from right to left and traditionally doesn’t include any vowels, although vowels can be indicated by small dots above and below the consonants.
- English words borrowed from language include: cherub, hallelujah and amen.
- Speaking modern Hebrew helps you understand a lot – but not all – of Biblical Hebrew, like speaking English helps you understand a lot – but not all – of Shakespearian English
