==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. 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 normative pronunciation (used in ceremonial contexts such as scripture readings, song and poetry) and casual pronunciation (when scripture is discussed privately), somewhat like Received Pronunciation versus other accents in British English. There is yet another level of register: Hebrew words are borrowed into Jewish English with a stress shift to penultimate stress and strong vowel reduction.

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.
