'''Modern Hebrew''' ({{heb|עברית חדשה}}, ''ivris chadosho''), also known as '''Israeli Hebrew''' ({{heb|עברית ישראלית}} ''ivris yisre'eilis''), was revived based on the [[w:Ashkenazi Hebrew|Ashkenazi pronunciation]].


==Phonology==
===Consonants===
The Hebrew word for consonants is ''‘itzurį́'' ({{lang|he|עיצורים}}). The following table lists the Hebrew consonants and their pronunciation in [[IPA]] transcription:

==Grammar==
Modern Hebrew no longer observes the distinction between masculine plural and feminine plural pronouns, phonetically or orthographically. Gender in plural remains only in nouns, adjectives, and the (participial) present tense. Hence הלכתם (''holáchtę'' 'y'all went'); אתם הולכים\הולכות (''atę holchį́/holchǿs'' 'y'all go' (mp/fp)).
