| Modern Tsarfati Hebrew (עברית צרפתית ''ivrís zorfosís''; "Tsarf-osis" is a common pun in Cualand for using a Tsarfati accent or Irta Modern Hebrew grammar) is the reading tradition used in [[Ăn Yidiș]]-speaking communities. It's a result of a restandardization to Tiberian niqqud; some Hebrew loans in Ăn Yidiș keep relics of an [[#Old Tsarfati Hebrew|older, non-Tiberian based reading]].

| === Chinese Hebrew ===
| |
| Due to convergent evolution, Irtan Chinese/SEA Hebrew is identical to Tsarfati Hebrew pronounced in the Standard Ăn Yidiș accent, except
| |
| * samekh = sin = /s/
| |
| * Resh is always Mandarin ''r''
| |
| * Qamatz is the same as Mandarin ''o'' or ''wo''
| |
| * /h/, /ħ/ and /x/ are merged
| |
| * Epenthetic [ə~ɛ] is common and is always used for coda consonants except /ʔ ʕ/
| |
| * Shva na is [a]

| A Tiberian niqqud-based Chinese Hebrew reading tradition is detailed in the 18th century treatise 塔納赫之正讀法 (''Tǎnàhè zhī Zhèngdúfǎ'' 'The Correct Reading Method for the Tanakh'; might need to change the transcription of ''Tanakh'' to the contemporary Mandarin phonology), which may have been translated from Judeo-Mandarin.

| == Old Tsarfati Hebrew ==
| |
| Old Tsarfati Hebrew was used during [[Ăn Yidiș/Proto-Ăn Yidiș|Proto-Ăn Yidiș]] times and is the source of early Hebrew loans in Ăn Yidiș (before the pronunciation was re-standardized according to Tiberian niqqud, resulting in what is today called Tsarfati Hebrew). It is noticeably less conservative than Tiberian Hebrew, for example merging the emphatic series and the voiced series and merging patach with qamatz gadol, even though it keeps some older distinctions lost in Tiberian Hebrew such as samekh vs sin.
| |
| | |
| It has the following sound changes from PSem:
| |
| *emphatics and alveolar /r/ are kept
| |
| *ś/s þ š > Basque z, Basque s, š (written as shin left dot, shin middle dot, shin right dot)
| |
| *z ð > voiced Basque z, voiced Basque s (the latter becomes Tamil zh or retroflex L in some readings)
| |
| * Ayn and ghayn are still merged, as well as ħ and x.
| |
| * Qamatz is always /a/ as in Sephardi the and Palestinian traditions.

In our timeline Ashkenazi Jews sing a slightly different version; I use the Ashkenazi version here to illustrate the difference between various Hebrew reading traditions of Ăn Yidiș-speaking Jews in Irta.

The history of Rabbinic Judaism in Irta is much like in our own world. The Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible, the Mishnah, the Talmud and the major Kabbalah texts are identical to ours; the Shulchan Aruch prescribes the same laws. (Basically everything about Hasidism stays the same except with Judeo-Brythonic rather than Yiddish.)
However, many accents of Irta Hebrew, except Tiberian Hebrew which is identical to our timeline's Tiberian Hebrew, preserve phonological distinctions that our Hebrew lost by Post-Exilic Hebrew times.

Chinese Hebrew
Chinese Hebrew is the reading tradition used in Verse:Irta/Judeo-Mandarin-speaking communities. It's a result of a restandardization to Tiberian niqqud; some Hebrew loans in Judeo-Mandarin keep relics of an older reading.
Chinese Hebrew is similar to our Ashkenazi Hebrew, except
- Tiberian /e(:) ɔ(:) o(:) u(:)/ are pronounced as Judeo-Mandarin ey o u ü
- Shva na3 is ă /ə/ in careful pronunciation
- undageshed gimel is pronounced like Judeo-Mandarin gh
- /r/ is a retroflex approximant like Hiberno-English R
- dageshed bet, dageshed gimel, and dalet (whether dageshed or not) are pronounced as unaspirated /p t k/
- dageshed tav, daleth, teth are dental [t̪ʰ t̪ t̪]
- sin/undageshed tav is dental [s̪]
- both zayin and tsade are /ts⁼/; samekh is /tsʰ/
- kuf and tet are unaspirated /k⁼/ and /t⁼/
- Dageshed kaf, pe, tav are aspirated
Comparison
Dror Yikra
Dror Yikra is a medieval Shabbat piyyut, in our timeline one of the earliest piyyutim to use an Arabic-derived meter.
Disclaimer: Piyyutim are thick with biblical allusions so they're a bitch to translate. I'm sure I made mistakes.
[X] denotes "something that has the same reflex as X in our Tiberian Hebrew."

English (What Inthar got from an Israeli site explaining piyyutim)
[God] will proclaim freedom for his sons and daughters
And guard you [all] as the apple of his eye
Pleasant is your name and will never cease [to be so];
Sit and rest on the Sabbath day.
[God], remember my abode and my hall [Temple]
And show me a sign of salvation.
Plant a choice vine in my vineyard [give us a messiah/king in Jerusalem],
Attend to the cries of my people.
Tread [upon my foes] as on a winepress in Botsra [Edom],
And Babylon which overpowered [us].
Crush my oppressors in your wrath,
Hear my voice when I call.
O God, give us a mountain amidst the desert,
Myrtles, acacias, cypresses and [unknown tree species];
To those who admonish [others to keep the Sabbath] and to those who heed
Grant peace like a flowing river.
Pulverize my aggressors [as in a mortar], as surely as You live, O Jealous God [who is jealous for his people],
Make their hearts dissolve [with terror] and distress them,
And with open mouths we shall fill
Our tongues with songs of gladness to you.
Know what is wise for your soul,
And [wisdom] shall be a crown for your head.
Guard your Holy One's commandment,
Keep your holy Sabbath.

Irtan Hebrew poetry
Hebrew dán díreach
Some Modern Hebrew experimental poets wrote their Hebrew poetry in meters inspired by the Irish dán díreach.
Assumes penult stress like Hebraeo-Ăn Yidiș
Stanzas are quatrains with a fixed number of syllables per line (usually 7-10)
Alliteration works on a stressed-syllable basis; various meters with patterns of line-final rhyme, alliteration, internal rhyme and non-line-final rhymes between lines
For rhyming, vowels must agree from the stressed syllable onwards, and consonant groups must match (however, in segolates, the vowel of the unstressed final syllable is ignored; so péle 'wonder' and qémaħ 'flour' rhyme)
Rhyming consonant groups:
- Qoph, teth and tsade
- Dageshed beth, gimel and daleth
- Dageshed kaf, pe, and tav
- Undageshed kaf, pe, and tav
- Undageshed beth, gimel, daleth; Undageshed lamedh, mem, nun, resh
- Dageshed l, m, n
- Shin, sin, samekh, zayin
- Aleph, he, heth, ayin, yud, vav (null final belongs to this group)
- ʔáni u-Phángur hallǻbhån,
- kol ʔíš bimălákhto ʕǻbhådh. (pausal form of ʕåbhadh 'he worked')
- "I and the white Pangur,
- Each [of us] has worked in his craft"
- Pángur ėno bi măkanė;
- Hu bă-ša3šu3åv yith3anėgh.
- "Pangur does not envy me;
- He delights in his playing."
