abstract
  • Hebrew (עִבְרִית, ‘Ivrit) is a Semitic language of the Afro-Asiatic language family. Modern Hebrew is spoken by more than seven million people in Israel and Classical Hebrew is used for prayer or study in Jewish communities around the world. It is one of the official languages of Israel, along with Arabic. Ancient Hebrew is also the liturgical tongue of the Samaritans, while modern Hebrew or Palestinian Arabic is their vernacular, though today fewer than a thousand Samaritans remain. As a foreign language it is studied mostly by Jews and students of Judaism and Israel, archaeologists and linguists specializing in the Middle East and its civilizations, by theologians, and in Christian seminaries. The modern word "Hebrew" is derived from the word "ivri" which in turn may be based upon the root "`avar" (עבר) meaning "to cross over". The related name Ever occurs in Genesis 10:21 and possibly means "the one who traverses". In the Bible "Hebrew" is called Yehudith (יהודית) because Judah (Yehuda) was the surviving kingdom at the time of the quotation, late 8th century BCE (Is 36, 2 Kings 18). In Isaiah 19:18, it is also called the "Language of Canaan" (שְׂפַת כְּנַעַן). The core of the Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible) is written in Classical Hebrew, and much of its present form is specifically the dialect of Biblical Hebrew that scholars believe flourished around the 6th century BCE, around the time of the Babylonian exile. For this reason, Hebrew has been referred to by Jews as Leshon HaKodesh (לשון הקודש), "The Holy Language", since ancient times.
  • The Hebrew language is a language spoken in every country on Earth by Adam Sandler and most of his extended family. Hebrew verbs are made up of three consonants, which then have the living daylights inflected out of them. For these examples we will be using KTV = to write. * kotev = he writes (present tense, masculine) * kotevet = she writes (present tense, feminine) * ktov = write, dammit! (imperative) * katav = he has write (past tense, masculine) * katva = she has write (past tense, feminine) * aktiv = he writes actively (present tense, intensive) * oktiv = he writes sheet music (present tense, hypothetically) * aktvktvktv = he choked to death while writing (departed tense) * votek = he writes dyslexically (present tense, cross-eyed) Hebrew typesetting is a long and arduous process which involves lots and lots of tiny dreidels. As well as Adam Sandler, Hebrew is often spoken by assholes, New Yorkers, people with the name jackass!!!, and people who have abnormally large noses. However, it must be noted that not everyone who speaks Hebrew has an abnormally large nose, some of them just have a regular nose. But shhhh, we wouldn't want to upset the stereotype. A common word in Hebrew is Shalom. It can mean everything from "hello" to "fuck off". However, it doesn't normally mean "fuck off", coz that would be disrespectful.
