'''Modern Canaanite''' (Canaanite: ''Knánith'' or ''sofø Knán'', Togarmite: ''Xnoniþ'') is the sole surviving descendant of Biblical Hebrew, spoken by the Knánem people in Lõis's Cyprus, Turkey, Armenia and the Levant. Some Lõisian rabbinical Jewish writings identify this language with the Lost Tribes of Israel, though they lament the "heathen" (i.e. a form of [[Verse:Lõis/Θāħīdaθ an Hawūθ|Θāħīdaθ an Hawūθ]]) religious practices of the Knánem. This is not without cause, as the language preserves quite a few Biblical words and phraseology that fell out of use in Mishnaic Hebrew, though unlike Mishnaic and Israeli Hebrew its grammar was completely restructured to use auxiliaries instead of the older Hebrew tenses, under the influence of Celtic languages.

Like Welsh, Knánith has two registers, literary and colloquial Knánith.
