Verse:Tdūrzů/Hebrew: Difference between revisions

Line 29:

==Revived Hebrew==

Hebrew in Lõis was revived by English-speaking Jews. Most speakers today use a loosely Togarmite accent, but with an English touch:

* /p t k/ are aspirated

* beth, kaf, pe, tav without dagesh are [v, x, f, θ].

* vav is [v], like in Israeli Hebrew

Line 34:

Line 35:

* resh is [ɹ]; in basilectal speech, dropped when not before a vowel

* Shva is dropped using similar rules to Israeli Hebrew; if shva is pronounced as a vowel, it is pronounced as [ə].

* A six-vowel system: /i e ɛ a ɔ o u/ = [i e e a o ø u].

* A six-vowel system: /i e ɛ a ɔ o u/ = [i e e a o ø u~ü].

* Ayin not before a vowel (whether shva, chataf or final), /aʕ eʕ ɔʕ oʕ iʕ uʕ/ = [a ea oa~o øa ia ua]. Nasal realizations [ɑ̃ː ɛ̃ː ɔ̃ː œ̃ː iɑ̃~ẽː uɑ̃~õː] or pharyngeal realizations (pronouncing a pharyngeal ayin) are considered overly proper and formal.
