==English Hebrew==

[[TT-English]] Hebrew is one of the most conservative modern Lõisian reading traditions (i.e. closest to Tiberian Hebrew). In most accents it is much like our Ashkenazi Hebrew, except that all of the begadkefat consonants except /g/ preserve the lenition. ~~(Some careful readers lenite /g/ to [ɣ].)~~ It is really a mapping from Tiberian Hebrew phonemes to English phonemes, so the exact accent would depend on the speaker's native English accent. The given values are the L-Standard English values. Hebrew is often anglicized in an ad-hoc manner.

Jews started speaking English after English underwent the Great Vowel Shift and entered the Northern Levant Sprachbund, which was soon after Tiberian Hebrew niqqud was standardized around AD 900.

Line 37:

Gemination is not pronounced.

Some careful readers lenite /g/ to [ɣ].

A schwa [ə] may be added before non-prevocalic r. Non-prevocalic R may even be vocalized to [ə]. (L-Standard English has variable rhoticity, so speakers are likely to perceive a diphthong ending in [ə] as a vowel plus R, even though no R sound is there.)
