[[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. 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, but there is a gap between:

There is yet another register of pronunciation: Hebrew words are borrowed into Jewish English with a stress shift to penultimate stress and strong vowel reduction, much like Hebrew vocabulary in Yiddish.
