[[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. There is a gap between:
